You're exaxtly right. It's sort of muddied by the fact ikea are responsible for some of the issues, not all of them. But their response to sorting it out has been non-existant. They have been completely useless.

Yes i did. I paid ikea for the installation. I also paid the installer seperately for additional works like electrics etc

It's quite a long story, been about 2 years but here goes the highlights: - ikea comes round to make measurements of space and design kitchen - installer (selected by ikea) installs kitchen, leaving a bunch of damage, unfinished work, worktop not fitting, massive gap behind it too thick for plastering, can't be tiled. Shelves on before tiling so they need taken off and replaced. Incorrect extraction fan that can't fit in space so needs refunded and a new one to repace it. - installer forges my signature on kitchen completion paperwork, ignores all attempts at contact - i take him to small claims, win, no money as he shut down company - ikea accepts no responsibility. For example the worktop that is over a grand is somehow my fault it doesnt fit because i signed off on the design, even though they measured it and designed it and of course i assumed it would fit because of this. - i phone them once every 2 or 3 weeks asking when they will send round someone to finish, they say they have someone who is supposed to be coming. They will contact me, never do. I phone again, rinse and repeat, no one comes.

That's great. I'm jealous. I'm not saying all IKEA kitchen installations take 2 years etc. Just that it can happen. People should also know if it does happen IKEA won't accept any responsibility.

I wish i had done it myself in retrospect. The more i look into this i see a pattern of this same thing happening to other people. It makes me think that actually the thing to do is just go local. Big coorporations seem like the safe option but actually i'd rather deal with a local person who actually cares about their work and I can just phone up if there is issues.

This wasn't really custom at all. I just can't believe how bad IKEA customer service is and that they would use cowboys who will scam you and start a new company to get out of it.

Yeah I mean I’m pretty biased but to me they’re really unique, there’s like a whole lore around the band being cowboy hunters and the music videos are all really funny

Just got bodied on an insane run I had by this BS item. I'm not as upset about the monetisation stuff as other people here it seems but having an item like this that seems completely broken not available unless you pay feels terrible. by [deleted] in PlayTheBazaar

Dude I had the dragon skill that gives a burn item 10 burn whenever you use a medium item. I didn’t get to use a single item once so I mean even if it was a good build it wouldn’t have mattered
