What the...?

Ok, this isn't the greatest photo because I took the picture using my phone but I picked up this little pearler of a coffee table from IKEA on Saturday for only $36. That's right, shoppers, $36!!!

But wait... that's not the exciting bit. Prior to taking the parts out, I pulled out the assembly instructions* and was surprised to see that the tools required were a Phillips head screwdriver and rubber mallet!

What the....? Has IKEA abandoned its trusty old allen key?

Anyway. That was one of the most exciting things that happened to me this weekend.

Oh... I also learned how difficult it is to screw things in when your screwdriver is too small.

And one more thing... I did manage to break one of the 'feet' on the coffee table when I was assembling it. Dumbass.

*(Shut up, I know the table looks basic and I would have to be a real moron - shut up - to not figure out how to put this table together but I have previously encountered assembly instructions where the parts have been assembled backwards. I was just checking.)
