As long as its not MFI, or else you will have loads of nuts and bolts left!  I usually do!

Blimey, MFI!! That's a name from the good old days. I agree about the nuts and bolts and usually one less hinge than you needed.

The instructions turned up in this !
Inside looks like this     

Exciting times Sc but you will find the instructions easy to follow, it will be A, B, C, D, making the corners then E from A to B, F from B to C and so on if its any more complicated than that I would give up
Though all joking aside, I do wish you all the best with the build and looking forward to seeing it going up

I still have a couple of dining room chairs from MFI, bought in 1975 when love was strong and money was short. P & I set up house on MFI. Chairs have been recovered and are still serviceable in the study (not so sure about P & I  though ) I expect I could find out how much they cost, we had a very tight budget and although we didn't have spreadsheets P did love a list/chart/table for costings and I've kept them out of sentimentality- how sad is that?

I threw up in an MFI store   .

Hope it wasn't on one of JJB's Chairs.

Sad that I am I still have the receipt for the chairs, £9.95 each, those were the days!

SC threw up out of disgust at the designs?

They were covered in 'oatmeal' so it wouldn't have shown 

Getting an extending dining room table and two chairs from Southampton to Salisbury in a Renault 5 was at the least 'interesting' and very stressful, a strain on  young relationship.

I believe it was in a wardrobe in the seconds / damaged section     .

oddly enough I wasn’t very old 5 or 6 I think.
