Its hubby’s birthday today and a BIG day for our study too – the IKEA furniture arrived with a team of three to carry out all the assembly and installation. I saw the delivery order – we had bought a total of 397 kilograms of furniture! There was a lot of stuff in the room.
The team was very professional, very organised, neat and tidy. They didn’t work super-fast like the guys in Malaysia when they were installing the study furniture, chest of drawers and laundry room furniture – they seemed much more conscientious and friendly too!
And another thing – a key difference actually – in Malaysia, IKEA only delivers and assemble furniture but they will NOT install anything on walls or ceilings. You’d have to arrange that yourself as I did. Here in Kuwait they do everything for the same fee.
The guys took exactly two and a half hours to assemble and install everything. I was pleased that everything fit exactly where we wanted them to be and that we still had a lot of space to move around in the room! I was quite worried that it might be a bit tight.
We cleaned up after they left. I sent the maid home because she had been around all day…
This was hardly the end of the project. More like a new beginning. Tomorrow I start filling the book cases with our collection of books and hubby will put all the electronics where they belong, well at least my workstation, before he left on a business trip to Egypt.
For now, its time to go out and celebrate hubby’s birthday.
Happy birthday to the man in my life!
