This necessitated a trip to Baltimore last Sunday to exchange it. The new boxes were different sizes. No chance of a cock-up there.<br /><br />** With assistance from Alexis, and attempted assistance from Aliza. There is a fourth CD/DVD tower that Alexis assembled on her own.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=eldar&ditemid=230308" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://eldar.dreamwidth.org/230308.html moving ikea exhausted public 0
