Sunday is one of my days off but it is the first day of the work week here in Israel.
What I discovered today is that about 2 PM on a Sunday is a great time to visit IKEA! The parking lot was only about half full thus making walking through the maze a much more pleasant experience.
My main objective was a small, closed shelf that could hold all of the toiletries that heretofore have been living on the bottom shelves of a bookcase you see as soon as you open the front door.
Not the welcome I want my guests to have!
Because the store wasn't super busy, I actually got help from a nice worker guy who highlighted the piece I needed from the warehouse.
Once I got it home, the fun began. Let the record show he told me it would take me 15 minutes to put it together.
Here's what really happened.
 |
| 3.30 pm. It begins. |
 |
3:48 p.m.
[Quite a struggle ensued here to get the back on and the 4th side attached.] |
 |
| 4:50 p.m. The struggle continues. |
 |
5:29 p.m. A different corner won't work now.
There was also a short dinner break and some exasperated pouts on the couch culminating in Googling videos of others who had assembled the same piece.]
Then...finally.... |
 |
| 6:48 p.m. The back is on and all four corners are flush!! |
 |
| 7:14 p.m. The shelves are in!! |
 |
| 7:26. One door on! |
 |
| 7:30 p.m. Finished! Doors closed. |
 |
| Doors open! |
 |
| The new look! The travel posted will get hung above the cabinet. |
 |
| The shelf my stuff used to be on can now be used to display cool stuff I have collected. |
