Sort of like "Video killed the Radio Star", except with more attitude. But that is how these stores screw you, nothing is ever complete when you buy it. Thus, I always buy complete and assembled and make them deliver it. I made Home Depot assemble my wheelbarrow before I would bring it home. Now, that might just be me being lazy, but I look at it as making sure everything is complete before I take it home. That should be a song title…”Ikea killed my car”.
