Pictures from Shanghai

We had the fantastic idea to buy a glass bar sometimes in January this year. It was a special offer and already sold out when we got to the furniture shop. Luckily they could still order one for us. It sadly took two months to get it delivered.
I'm a lucky person so the top glass arrived broken. We currently wait for the replacement to arrive (this also takes two months).
(Of course it's made in China)
Now some may think that four months is a long time. You're wrong - IKEA topped this. Our second sliding door for our bedroom wardrobe is still not available. We bought our bed, drawer and wardrobe in November last year. We bought everything in the same design so that it doesn't look too bad.
They sadly have some manufacturing problems with this kind of slideable door so our concept crashed. Now we can wait until (at least) May and then pay another 80 Euro for the door and 50 Euro for the delivery. This door is really too big for my car and the minimum delivery fee is 30 Euro when you order the delivery at the shop (1 hour drive from here) or 50 Euro when you order via Internet.

I honestly can say that I hate to buy furniture!

Small Update:

Still not there, so I called them today. They were a bit surprised ("Nobody called you last week?") and realized then that they really got a new delivery now. But not for me!
So maybe they want me to wait another 8 weeks until it gets delivered from China.
Which irony is that?
