The assembly begins! Chris and I (thanks to his gererous folks) bought a king size bed from IKEA. The putting together part was easy because Chris is really good at reading instructions and actually following them. I'm not, so I sat there and took pictures and brought him soda and handed him nails and screw drivers. It went pretty well until it came time to put the box in the frame. After many frustrating attempts and a few dangerous moments we called it quits for the evening. I was in tears as usual and it was getting close to midnight. Chris blew up the air matteress again for me to sleep on and I ended up sleeping in the living room among piles of bedding and IKEA boxes. We finally got the issue resolved and last night my dad and Chris finished assembling the bed. This morning the mover guys that work for Ikea came and picked up the defective boxes and I was really happy to see them go! It turned out that there had been a recall on some of the boxes that were made because when they were put together instead of making a king size they were about an inch off! So frustrating.
At least it all turned out well!
