Since my new pad is not furnished, as first order of business, I need a bed. After browsing Craigslist for beds, the findings are slim for a double bed, and no delivery is offered. Plus the selections are either cheap student sofa beds or very expensive high end beds. Therefore, the natural conclusion is -- IKEA.
Getting the bed turned out to be a bit of a challenge. I had to drag the mattress to the cart myself, on their self-serve area. And then I had to go through check out, before I can have it deliver. Then I come home, and found out that I could have ordered that online, as I was getting a fairly expensive version. The cheaper versions weren't available for sale online. Oh well, it's an interesting experience.
The bed was delivered the next day. The promised delivery time was between 12 and 3pm, and actually delivery time was 2:35pm. So no problem here. Oh, assembly was not included, and I had to pay the delivery guy under the table to get him to assemble it. "Don't tell the company." I wonder how many times he say that every day.
