Single girl builds another piece of IKEA furniture

Hi universe,

Yes I am an independent woman and I do own a few tools but for some reason building my latest IKEA piece was daunting. It sat in pieces for about 2 weeks after I checked all the pieces. My dresser is "discontinued" so when I wanted to pick up the smaller one with my Birthday money I was shocked to find this out. There were only 20 left so I bought it right then and there.

So if you have seen the commercial with the load of boxes atop of an old VW Beetle, then you would laugh at this. I pulled and pushed the box into the car after putting the roof down and moving the seat back. After hoping to the heavens that it would fit into the car so that I would be able to take one home. I have the photo on my phone to prove how funny it looked but I did it. The dresser is home, in my room and is now an antique!

The next time I need to assemble something I really hope there is some testosterone in the house to make it a little more expedient.
