I went to Ikea with a very specific list in mind. I made sure everything was in stock and everything.
By the time I walked in the door when it opened to the time I got to the warehouse to pick my stuff up they were out of stock on 3 of the 5 things I went for!
And then DH got home with the dresser we bought and put it together to find they were missing a whole piece of wood! Not just some screw, and entire piece of the drawer!
Re: IKEA Fail
Ugh. I hate when that happens. You spend all this time trying to decide if that piece of furniture would work in your house and then it's not there. So, so, annoying! However, we are lucky and have two Ikeas near us so if it's something we really love then we can go to the other one.
You have no idea how many times I have heard this. Go to returns with your receipt and they will give you the piece.
