The Dangers of Chests
My thanks to the good people of IKEA for their "clear", "easy to follow" and risk averse instructions booklet showing me how to assemble a chest of drawers.
I was particularly grateful for the pictogram warning that advised me against using the completed chest of drawers as a staircase/ladder (by pulling the drawers out to form a staircase).
Good risk averse advice indeed!
However, why on earth would I want to use the chest of drawers as a staircase/ladder in the first place?
Oh, and if anyone is wondering, I didn't complete a risk assessment before assembling the product and, owing to the absence of a hammer, used a log of wood to bang in the nails.

According to their advertising, IKEA ‘can make my dreams come true’.
ReplyDeleteThey are clearly hoping that my dreams mainly consist of putting together cheap cupboards.
