Patrick and I were in the market for a new entertainment center and decided to go through
IKEA to see if they had anything that would fit our needs. We walked about 75 feet into the store and found exactly what we needed and so the adventure began. First task was sifting through the crowd on a Sunday afternoon, and second was ensuring that this new 65'' long entertainment center fit into Patrick's car. We got through items one and two just fine, but we knew the most difficult task was ahead. We learned very early in our relationship that we should never attempt to put together
IKEA furniture together. Regardless of moods, it always leads to a fight. I always have my set idea on how the furniture should be put together, where Patrick likes to take his time to read the instructions. So this time, I left Patrick with project. He kept complaining that this piece of furniture had more parts than anything else he had ever put together. (please remember that Patrick is an extreme exaggerator) Here was the first thing that Patrick showed me, and I actually started to believe him....
As he was about to take a break, he mentioned that he couldn't believe that he had to put 37 nails in the back of this thing. Sure enough, 37 nails were required:
After a day of hard work, the entertainment center looks great, and I learned not to be so quick to think that Patrick was stretching the truth.

Pictures of the installation diagram, but no pictures of the final product? Are we to believe that Pat actually got it put together correctly and without any left over parts?
He did get it all put together, and I am not aware of any left over parts. Will post a picture to prove it. :-) Kim
