Reg got off early yesterday so he started right in on continuing work on the kitchen. I was moving stuff and clearing the work table ( AKA the tempory Kitchen Counter table) and I tripped on one of the cartons on the floor and fell on a cabinet that Reg had put together but we hadn't wanted - it wasn't in our plan, we couldn't figure out how we had gotten it - and we were waiting to take it back to IKEA to get our partial refund - anyway, it crashed over onto 2 drawers I had just built and the back split pretty badly - so no it's no longer a concern to take back for a refund.
Reg built the drawered base cabinet that goes next to the refrigerator. Boy was that tricky. The directions jump from 1,2,3, to 10 !!!! But, as we opened the boxes for the small drawers, then the big drawers, we found directions 4 & 5, then 6 & 7, and on a strange piece of wood - wrapped in clear plastic that looked like a too fat shelf was direction 8, and a plastic wrapped long retangle pole had direction number 9 and direction 10 in the orginal booklet of the cabinet. There is a lot of detective work in building your own IKEA kitchen. We were also hesitant to open the packages because, although you can still return them, you get less money for the return of opened packages. As you can see from the picture of the drawered cabinet - it turned out great. Reg figured out how to do all the adjustments so the drawer fronts fit perfectly and they use those auto closer gadgets beautifully.
