I have this image of a load of panels with IKEA instructions!
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.

Inside looks like this
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?
RE: The build - Small chilli - 08-07-2021
I threw up in an MFI store
.
RE: The build - Veggie - 08-07-2021
Hope it wasn't on one of JJB's Chairs.
RE: The build - JJB - 08-07-2021
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.

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