Remember That Bed...?

Remember when I wrote all about that bed that I've been waiting for for weeks? Of course you do, because you remember every single word I put on this blog because they are all literary gold!

Well, I also wrote about the assembly process in one of my last posts and unfortunately due to the time constraints of MY DAD LEAVING THE STATE, we couldn't figure out how to get the drawers to fit. Mind you, my initial delivery date was scheduled to be September 10th, but the IKEA people sent me an email on September 3rd, an entire week early telling me that it was ready to be delivered... Were they planning on delivering it any earlier? No. Did they even give me any way of calling to see if I could schedule an earlier delivery? No. I don't know what the point of this email was except to taunt me, but I do know that if I could have gotten it a day or two sooner, it would have made a world of difference...

Also, they delivered it about 6:15 pm on Saturday, the 10th, which was basically the last possible minute they could have delivered it.

So, we put the bed together, working into the wee hours of the mourn, knowing that the ticking crocodile of American Airlines is looming over us since my dad needed to be at the airport at 5 am. We can't get these dumb drawers to fit, so we wedge them in as best as possible and I say goodbye to my pops and enjoy another night on the air mattress.

For reference, these are the way the bed/drawers are supposed to look:

Nice and flush with the bed frame!

And these are what mine currently look like:

NOT FLUSH! (My room isn't big enough for me to get a proper shot of the entire bed)

Well, I just got off the phone with IKEA to see if someone can come fix these stupid drawers that don't fit through no fault of mine of my dad's since we followed the directions meticulously and the rest of the bed looks exactly the way it is supposed to and no one can come fix these drawers. In fact, my only option is for them to pick up the bed and have them deliver a new one. Another bed that I would have to assemble myself! They won't even put it together for me! And what happens if the drawers don't fit on that one either? Maybe I'll never have a bed. Once I'm done angry blogging and have made some lunch, I'm going to regroup and call again. I paid $600 for this stupid thing and they're going to make it work.
