Remember the Richard Hammond show? Think it was on C4 last year. They had a couple of blokes on there who made a living out of putting together peoples flat packs. They had a proper company. Cant remember where they were based though.

Glue and Duck-tape go along way when putting Flat-Pack items together Ive found. Painting over the Duck-tape doesnt always work but I got so much on my furniture it doesnt matter lol

Just waiting for the day when flat pack furniture can put its self together!

Honestly tho i rekon it a lauff putting it alltogether and then it never really works!

Maybe the holes for the dowels, are on the other side and youve got that one piece on the wrong way round,

But yeah i know what you mean, plus those pissin intructions dont tell you crap.

End up with a few screws short lol

Hate Argos furniture. If you were sure you had it all as should be and no holes are drilled i would send it back.

The last flatpack i got from there was ok but the one before was missing all of a certain type of screw needed and a handle for a draw! Completely poor flatpacks. Several before that had bits missing. I just take it back usually. If you aint close to one it can be a pain though =/
