Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
The Boss and I have survived the most grueling ordeal of any marriage: assembling an Ikea wardrobe. And it ain't right. The one door is noticeably higher than the other, but we can't figure out what happened. All the pieces are flush, everything is level (I checked with an actual level), and we've played with the hinge fine-tuning, but it's still way off. We've assembled one of these things before and it went fine, but this is behaving like there's a skew somewhere, even tho the level says it's fine. Baffling.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Are the hinges set in exactly the same place as each other? I'm not referring to the adjustment but the actual housing of the hinge itself.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑09 May 2019, 8:40pmThe Boss and I have survived the most grueling ordeal of any marriage: assembling an Ikea wardrobe.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Yup. Everything's been triple checked. It really is baffling. Somehow the frame of the cabinet is askew, even tho everything is screwed in flush and it's all level. I've fucked up and had to go back and redo things like this on other assembled furniture, but this time I don't see where I deviated from the instructions.Marky Dread wrote: ↑09 May 2019, 9:27pmAre the hinges set in exactly the same place as each other?

This strongly suggests a manufacturing fault. It might be worth doing a Google check on this model to see if others have had similar problems.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑09 May 2019, 9:40pmYup.
