Can nobody spell "shelves" any more? :confused:



On a completely unrelated note, how do you pronounce "DOMBÅS".
Depending on the pronunciation, that might not actually be as unrelated as I initially thought...

going by the spelling in this thread, it's because people can't contain themshelves :smirk:

And the plural of shelf is...

but shelfs sold separately :disappointed:

yikes.. £35 delivery..

oak version £10 more

IKEA delivery is so expensive otherwise would have bought this ! Not sure it's gna fit in a fiesta :disappointed:

Anyone know if there are shelves for the main bit as well as the side section? Or if ikea sell them seperately?

Have 6 open plastic shelving units I'd like to change to cupboards.

in scandinavian languages Å is pronounced 'or' or like the a in tall and an emphasis would be placed on the B (certainly in norwegian which I know better than swedish) so phonetically would be Dom bors so not quite Dumbass but I get where you're coming from lol

If you live in west London it can be delivered for £20

Shelf is the noun.
Shelve is the verb.

So you have a shelf and you shelve items on a shelf.

Picked one of these up in a MK4 fiesta 5 years ago. Fits.

Hot don't care about delivery will got in car

Just remember to strap this to the wall securely. Half the ikea trash I've bought for my house can be tipped over quite easily without that strap.

And the plural of shelf is...

Shelves is also the plural of shelf.

You have some shelves and you shelve items on shelves. If we must insist on using examples. :\

Edit - damn, beaten to it.
:P @ madarhin

I had a couple lately who "don't do stairs". :confused:

35 quid delivery, what a joke

Only reduced by £11, why all of the excitement?

Thanks, I've seen those, bit pricey as I'd need a few.
Bit of a trek to see if they might have one in bargain corner, and I guess unlikely to have a few.

Was going to use Billy bookcases and the Billy doors, but it does add up!

Can you buy just the doors for this?

I bought 3 of these recently and they are great very heavy boxes but fitted 6 boxes (as 2 boxes to each wardrobe) in a ford focus with the seats down. Very sturdy and easy to assemble.

I bought one a year before it dint last even 6 months ... very bad quality ...it breaks down like a deck of cards

Bought this last week, not built it yet but i managed to get it home in a 2016 Vauxhall Corsa!

True, but shelves is also the plural form of the singular noun, NOT shelfs..

Also picked it up in our Fiesta.. as others have said.. it's in 2 boxes and quite heavy! (I then had to empty the parts and carry up 2 flights of stairs)

Be warned.. it is flimsy.. but at £59, cheap enough (will be adding an additional rail inside)

Voted hot.

Also Dombas isn't the worst name IKEA have ever chosen for a product :smile:

That's why it comes with kit and instructions to fit to the wall!

Meh. I prefer a ledge to a shelf.

​A lot of people don't fit them though, which is why I commented as a warning. Their furniture are death traps without those straps, their centre of gravity is near the top which is why I stopped buying IKEA.

save £11, one of the hottest deals of the day... seriously?

I had the Aneboda wardrobe (even cheaper) and the pre-assembled door fell to pieces after about 6 months (it fell on a guest). There was no carpentary 'joint' as such in the frame - held together paperboard with dowels, and a bit of wood glue. It was always going to fall to bits. I didn't strap the thing to the wall though. I think I adjusted with a spirit level.

Why I can not remove the delivery when buying online ?

5 years on with mine and it's still going strong, survived 2 house moves too! Cheap and cheerful :laughing:

I got a wardrobe and drawers in a 3 series coupe... had to leave the missus at ikea... she still hasn't come home... and I'm starving :P

I wonder if you can just buy one of the many screws for this ????

Hey guys! You don't need to be dombas to buy one of them! They don't even check it! :wink:

"Count of Monte Christo, by Alexandre Dombas... Dumbass!"

If you buy directly in ikea and take the item to their delivery area it's cheaper for delivery. I think mine was £20 that way.

​or dumb ass in irish

Came in for the comments...

....was not disappointed :smiley:

The bumerang is my favourite. I need to phone IKEA and tell them I need some bumerangs for my dombass

Whilst you're sitting at your jerker?!

of course...where else...my 'fartfull'...? don't think so...it would be a Health n Safety mare..!!
:wink:

Hot hot hot

From £14 per hour plus 30p per mile I think.

You can only go in store and take it home yourself, or buy it online and pay for delivery. They don't do a buy/reserve online and pick up yourself service. If you don't want to pay for delivery you'll have to go to your nearest store and pick it up

​Stop trying to build large pyramids with it then.

Ditto. Aneboda is shockingly bad.

Reminds me of this youtube clip from last year

Great wardrobe for the price! Bought this for £70 a few weeks back. Was looking at this and a PAX wardrobe but for half the price it was a no brainier with extra shelves to boot!

I have one of this and it will fit in fiesta as it comes in pieces i had mine collected by corsa

This site is nowhere near what it was a couple of years ago - now whether that is down to the people who are posting, or the lack of really good deals...... I don't know, but as a businessman myself, I'd love to know.
Actually, around the time one of the most prolific posters of 'lads' deals' (lingerie related usually) became a mod, I noticed things were changing - coincidence or not, who knows.
I used to have a look on here several times a night and very often found I'd missed something great because I hadn't looked often enough, but now there can be over a week go by and nothing tempts me at all.

Bad spelling is only one of the signs that our education system is awful - blame all the left wing pc brigade for trying to ensure that all kids are to be treated equally, so that none of them feels a failure, and so the brightest kids often have to twiddle their thumbs in class whilst the sons and daughters of benefit scroungers, druggies etc hold everyone up because they've been drinking fizzy pop since nursery (the place where mummy puts them so she can chat to mates all day instead of reading books and playing games with them), and have to be taught the alphabet and how to write their own name.
Honestly, I don't live in a very bad area or anything, but the standards in schools these days - of pupils as well as staff sadly - is poor, with swearing not even punished as many staff pretend not to hear it so they don't have to deal with the parents I suppose, and in some cases it's because the staff themselves don't have any great moral standards and are covered in tattoos and piercings.
Quite sure I'll get blasted by a few for this rant, but I really don't care, as I hate the way my country is going downhill rapidly - if it carries on much longer it won't be the country my ancestors fought for any longer (and I wonder how many people reading this cannot even claim that).

Wow. Time for your meds, mate?

Got one of these. Great for this price. Over a year
and still going strong.

Purchased these in chocolate brown about 5 years ago when they were knocked down to 18 quid. Checked high and low for stock, nearest Ikea was Soton, but travelled all the way to Bristol to get hold of 3 units for 54 quid! Drove the missus out, put the seats down and fitted it all in :-)
5 years on, still married, units still going strong and have even survived 1 house move :-)

Yes.

​A lot aren't insured for it.

​you voted out I assume

misker?

Stories you say?

Oh that's good, that's really, really, misky.

Your misuse of Grammar (particularly the excessive and unnecessary commas and complete lack of semi-colons) is most ironic!

got one a couple of years back. so flimsy and cheap. avoid at all costs

hot

only £35 delivery!
none in stock in Birmingham or Nottingham....

Got one a week ago, moved into a new unfurnished flat. This was cheaper than any second wardrobe and nothing beats new. The quality is fine. Don't know what people expect for 60 quid. If you need a wardrobe and there's an Ikea near you, why not? The other colours aren't much more expensive and if you're within Ikea's 'home' range, the delivery is just £25.

I've had one for a few years and find it great quality and fits a lot.

bought this. I had to modify it because the holes weren't properly placed. It's OK as a short term solution.
