I'm fooked. Just built myself a bookcase. Only the third time I've built flat pack. Got the bottom shelf upside down n the sides back to frount plus couldn't get the back to stay on but for a novice it was a dam good attempt. After a lot of swearing a cracked nail and a few tears it's put togther the right way round and most of my books are on it.

Got another one to build tomorrow. Hopfully that will take less than 6hrs. xxx
