So I finished painting the trim in Reese’s room and started in on the bed only to find that it was missing the instructions. A quick trip to Ikea’s web site later and I’ve got a copy printed out. Next bit of fun was that I was missing some parts. So back to Ikea I go. After an hour or so of confusion about which parts I went back up to take a look at the display model. What do I find but that most of the pieces I thought I was missing weren’t in fact missing. I did still need the grippy strips and safety strap for the ladder, but everything else was there. It’s the instructions which were wrong. That’s the first time I’ve ever run into instructions which were that wrong. After a few hours of work, there’s now a loft bed with desk ready for Reese. Well, almost ready. I still need to pick up some pillows and linens…
