Why is it so bloody hard?!!

I hate sodding Ikea, these shelves are deceptively simple.

Also I have a 1 yr old helping. And I have a feverish cold. >sob

Oh, I love assembling Ikea furniture. I'd be there in a flash. I probably wouldn't want to do it with a 1 yr old 'helping'

Have you had a Lemsip? or Wine?

Oh thank you superbunny. Got any advice? I need to attach the 2nd tall side of the shelves to the shelf planks ifkwim, but can't seem to do it without wanting to chuck the whole lot out of the window.

Um, not sure how I do that.

Is it laying on its' back? I think that is the easiest way to do it.
