I Built It Myself

Usually when I get something from Ikea I have to pester and bribe Mr. T to help me put it together. It seems like everything from that store requires three hands for assembly and, sadly, my mutant gene failed in making that third arm possible.* For once though, I came home from Ikea with something that requires just two hands to complete. The Ikea Alve bench/file cabinet.

I’ve been wanting a place to store our files (like tax returns, receipts, and other forms) and this was a great not-a-metal-box-with-drawers solution (although honestly, one of those would have been fine, I just found this first).

Plus, it was on sale (discontinued) so it was a bargain too. Always nice.

It started off in this medium size, flat, heavy! box.

And one episode of Bones on Netflix later, I had a new great place to set my bum.

It was crazy easy to put together. Only two hands necessary.

And when you open up the top, you have this great storage inside. Hanging files on the right and extra space on the left. Right now the left side is empty but I’m sure it’ll fill up in no time.


There’s lots of room for all my colorful file folders. Now I just have to organize and label all my paperwork like a real adult.


At least for now I can shove everything in an empty folder until I get my act together. It sort of looks like I’m organized though now right?

*Instead my mutant gene gave me one oddly short pinky finger on my right hand. It’s not nearly as useful as an extra hand.
