At one point I had books in my brand new oven (Why should I cook when Zabar‘s and Silver Palette and Chinese delivery existed?) Wild youth.

Stage two... my Da abandoned me when I got frustrated about screwing up the middle shelf. There is no fixing it, except with paint. Yes I've built this before, but as mentioned previously... exhaustion level was already high. I sat on the floor and cried when my Mum (took my Da's place as helper) said there was no removing it. I'm a perfectionist and this felt like the death toll for me 😅. 93 3/4 inches tall... time to load this up!

LitDrivenGirl I have terrible lighting in my bedroom... 5y
MelissaSue81 Ohh. I think it can be fixed.. and if not.. tape! 5y
LitDrivenGirl @MelissaSue81 I hope so! Being tired was adding to my drama level is all. It will be my "special shelf" as my Mum consoled me ?. 5y
booklahoma That is far from the worst mistake I have made with IKEA furniture. 😜 More importantly, it will hold books therefore MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! 👍🏻 5y
LitDrivenGirl @booklahoma haha very true 🤪 5y

Stage one of doing the crazy thing after 2 throughly exhausting days. Hey let's build the extended Billy shelf you got from IKEA at 8:30 pm, because you aren't stressed and tired enough! This shelf is moving and a Billy shelf is taking its place.
