Assemblage
Jan. 24th, 2006 08:52 amI finally (after a number of, erm, engineering modifications) got all of the shiny new IKEA furniture assembled. So now I have a cabinet with shiny glass doors (on legs, on height-raising discs, but now it's self-supporting and the bottom of the doors is above the top of the desk) and drawers under my desk and bookshelves. Yay.
A while ago I had this craving for some sort of model kit, like a model airplane or a model rocket or something, where you'd get a bunch of parts and put them together and get a thing. I also discovered at the time that the construction toys store in Waltham wouldn't satisfy this craving, but that the commuter rail infrastructure there was kind of neat. At any rate, IKEA furniture does satisfy this, aside from being a little pricey and getting bookshelves rather than an airplane at the end.
