Why?
Because the incompetent IKEA customer service reps have failed for the FIFTH time in mailing me a replacement drawer piece for the cheap, piece of crap chest of drawers that was bought with the sole intention of being an inexpensive option to store my clothes over the next few years before I can return to Texas where I own furniture that didn't require self-assembly.
Exhale.
Now, if you aren't up to speed with the 3-month drawer drama, here's the short version:
The first pic is the sad state of my dresser as it awaits fully-functioning status. The second is of the SEVEN extra, unusable replacement pieces that IKEA has FedEx'ed me.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that a retailer with stores big enough to be the Stockholm air terminal would have lousy customer service. But, when you mosey through its maze of sparkling showrooms filled with uber-hip, yuppie furniture, you really start to believe them when they say, "Need help? Just ask!"
Don't be fooled. It's all a minimalist, particleboard and laminate facade. It turns out, in fact, that not hiring enough help, not assembling anything and providing no service of any kind really cuts the prices of things.
It's been three months of making due with a half-assembled dresser and I'm nearing to point of offering my fully-assembled firstborn child in exchange for never having to deal with IKEA customer service ever again. The "manager" that I was forwarded today after throwing a genuine hissy fit had the nerve to wish me luck on finally receiving the correct piece.
Luck?!
She can take her luck, her absurd Swedish names, her mass produced meatballs, and warehouse full of plastic cookware and shove it!
Dear IKEA,
I hate you. You stink.

IKEA and BT should get married.
In Dallas, we always receive our IKEA orders correctly. Think about it.
