I love the video game analogy. As mentioned, I think an appropriate “level 2.5″ would be trunk assemblage for your Ikea purchase. it never ceases to amaze me the creativity (and sometimes stupidity) that can be seen when people are loading their cars. Ever see someone drive off in a mini with a mattress strapped losely to the top of their ride? Briliant!

A three-dimensional Tetris, if you will.

level 4: you must return home with unbroken material, otherwise, you must either: 1) exchange it, which is possible if and only if there are some unbroken ones and restart at level 1 to choose replacing material 2) drive like crazy to Ikea store no.2, hoping to find the unbroken item!

We have a new IKEA kitchen, and quite a lot of other IKEA stuff. The best bit about IKEA – being able to shop without annoying shop assistants trying to help.
