Bought a bed for the kid a few months ago. We also ordered a mattress te same day from a different shop hat we were assured would be delivered no later than 2 weeks after. Fast forward 3 months and a million excuses and the mattress is getting delivered tomorrow. So this afternoon I left work early to build the bed frame. Turns out it was missing the centre leg that supports the slats. I rang the shop we bought it from and they said that I'd have to email their customer support and they'd mail me out a new one within 14 days.

I was far from happy with this as it meant that I'd either have to leave the bed in pieces and store a double latex mattress somewhere until this piece arrived or build the bed,drop the mattress on it and then pull it all apart again later. I tools them neither was acceptable and that I'd be down in the morning to claim the centre leg on their display bed.

They agreed and went to have a look to see if it was easily removable and came back to the phone saying that the 2 display beds they had on the floor were missing this leg too

So here I was at Bunnings at 7:30pm on a Friday night buying timber to make a bed leg.

It's all done at last. Hopefully the mattress delivery guys don't stuff up tomorrow...
