You should've built it in the room you wanted it, but failing that, another pair of hands 

Slight exaggeration on the moving front. When I remove the shelves it's relatively easy to manoeuvre into the room. It is taller than a door opening though.

well done you but did you really spend £150 on it? 

My daughter always says be careful my mum built it 

I've been looking for a while for something that will fill a space, all the others I found were really cheap and flimsy and in the flesh looked awful, you know the type of stuff you see in Argos and those types of stores. This looks good and hopefully will be good for a few years.

As for price I know a few women who spend that sort of money on a pair of shoes or a dress that they wear for one season and then its no longer  "in".

I think I got the better deal here 

....it's very nice though EC

Ta 

  I guess I was lucky having a carpenter for an uncle (he passed away 2 years ago) but he made me two very sturdy bookcases from scratch 

as for the shoes most women will do that but I'm the type of girl that takes ages to break a pair of shoes in so I wear mine till they fall apart 

Now there is no amount of money that I wouldn't pay for a penguin   I paid £90 for a biggish fluffy Pingu a couple of years ago 

I know a geezer that can get you an Emperor Penguin for two monkeys and a pony, just make sure they are used notes 

I've got a freezer he can live in and a bath full of water to swim in 

I think you need to sit down and watch Eric & Tommy in The Plank....

What a great little film 

Full of handy hints too!  

Just found it on YouTube - will take you advice Cosi and give it a watch 

I shall have to call you Bodgit and Scarper if you follow their example, EC   

we used to say Bodgit and Leggit 

If EC copies the antics in The Plank, all the above will apply ! 

tip it on its side and slide in on the the carpet 

Shhh.... we want more head scratching and umming and ahhhing first!  

I used brute force and ignorance.

All cave man stylee.

I've now sat down with a brew and started to watch Adventure of a Taxi Driver 

ahhh  

 I love flat pack, as a teen my Mum used to buy it and go to work... she'd come home and I'd have out it together

The only flat i hated was my daughters bed.... i posted pics of it at the time

Gawd, don't be giving him (EC) ideas about getting behind the wheel.  It's a big jump from bookcase the highway carnage!  

Exactly what I was going to say!

Oh yes, I remember that!

men are better with an allan key than logical thought 

Ah, well Dame & Fluffs I can't do that as each doorway has a slightly raised wooden strip which would damage the bookcase as I dragged it over.

I have however used my herculean strength to lift it in 

Old piece of carpet/carpet square 

It's OK Sprout, I've done it now 

For the next time   But then again, build it in the room you want it in
