Ikea stroll and shopping - This time more frustration than pleasure

Conclusion: we'll probably end up at IKEA again, BESTA in this case.

Ooh, I just took a look out of curiosity at the Besta. We are actually worlds apart in taste, like the North Pole and South Pole. That wouldn't be for me. But they sell a ton of it – so many must like it.

Yesterday we were at Ikea. Something was 'different' than the last time. My feelings of happiness were absent. Even today, the assembly was rather unsatisfactory.

Doesn't every visit to Ikea go like that? At least when I was there, I always had the same impressions.

When it comes to lamps and everything else, IKEA is surely doing it right... why sell just one when you could sell four?

I am satisfied now [emoji847]
I had the part replaced. I quickly went to the Besta section and found a "shopping list" with the individual parts including shelf location, then spontaneously bought two white carcasses with 40cm depth with high-gloss doors and hanging rails.
The hanging rails were not available a few years ago - I’m curious how the installation works.
And if it works, our 3-meter Besta row under the TV will also be hung up. My husband doesn’t know about it yet [emoji12]
The carcasses are assembled in no time, and tomorrow (or the day after) they will be mounted on the wall. They even match the color of our Nolte kitchen, so they are an extension for our new Ikea glasses [emoji6]
I’m excited! [emoji847]

See. Everything will work itself out.

See. Everything works out.

If you knew how literally your sentence fits my exchange yesterday: First claims department. Here info that I would have to buy the cabinet again, then the part will be exchanged there. But there are only 3! packages left in stock. So I went back to the entrance, up the stairs, got a cart, through the odds and ends, shortcut in front of the fabrics to the right and right again, then in the self-service to aisle 10, compartment 50 (all the way in the back), packed it, plus the wall rails compartment 48, discreetly parked the cart somewhere, back through odds and ends, upstairs to the exhibition towards Besta. Looked around calmly for 5 minutes. Left the exhibition, downstairs, through odds and ends in front of the fabrics to the right and right again into the self-service, returned (looking for my parked cart again), swapped the cart for one of those package trolleys, visited several compartments in aisle 10. Thought for a moment! Everything off the cart again and packed the package to be exchanged from the very bottom to the top, Besta to the bottom, then over the bargain corner (still not worth it) to a checkout. Left this one again because 4 inner shelves are not enough for me. Added 2 more, then for the first time to a scanner checkout. Paid and then to claims: the lady was no longer there, spoke to a man that I was already in the middle of "exchange mode." Carried out the exchange of the board with this dozy man, everything in the car. The clock shows 4:50 pm. I left at 3:00 pm. Good timing before I got stuck in traffic [emoji51]

We were at Ikea yesterday too. And of course came out with more than I wanted again. Actually just a tabletop for the Trofast shelf and drawers. So I can build a play table for the little son. Result: tabletop, 6 boxes, 2 light strips for the kitchen wall cabinet, transformers (why the hell don’t they have the transformers in small!!!), cup for the child, big picture frame -.-
