Well, after purchasing all the stuff (bar two small out of stock items ) for my sons bedroom last night, I proceeded to the 'Home Delivery' desk........"Yes Sir, not a problem Sir......that'll be £60 Sir"........for a 10 mile journey ..............I don't think so.

So, I popped out and got the RRS, dropped the seats and set about playing 'giant tetris'.
These things are cavernous

So I give you the result of when IKEA met the RRS

RRS....1 - IKEA....0



And before the HSE lot start...I did secure the stuff inside and could see out of all my mirrors, didn't drive fast...blah blah....

I must admit, Ikea kit is great to assemble, flat pack furniture has certainly moved on from the old MFI days. i notice that should you of had to brake hard that its your wife's head that gets chopped off.

Mrs Bean wasn't with me so all picked and loaded solo . Also passenger seat was so far forward and the back rest too, you wouldn't get even a small child in the front seat  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Nice one

I got ikea standard wardrobes for the old house, as they were £12000 cheaper than the sliderobe the wife had seen

Went up really easy doing it myself and when selling the chap got them thrown in as part of his full asking price offer, never did tell him they were cheap ikea ones

I think I managed to get them in my FL2 too, had to drive back for the wife and kids though after unloading them on my own

PS: I told her if a wardrobe company can afford a TV advert they wouldn't be cheap, did she believe me? Did she

To be honest Nick, similar situation, we looked at and were quoted for various built in solutions, but they were extortionate for what is a 'kids' bedroom.
I liked the fact you can get some funky stuff in IKEA (we've gone for gloss white and gloss grey doors), it doesn't break the bank (that lot was just over £1k), so worst case we could change it in a few years if we wanted to. Not something I'd be happy doing with the 8-9k option we were quoted previously.

That said, I do like the Hulsta stuff..... ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

very true, only problem is we have moved and she keep talking about doing our bedroom out now

Again similar thing here, we moved in July.....gradually updating rooms and talk of doing our bedroom is getting more bandwidth at the moment  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
