supporting evidence. Assembly Services Australia (ASA) which IKEA arranged to do the installation, would not even take my calls or provide an email for me to send details of my complaint.

IKEA said that I must have caused the damage! - unbelievable.

It took a complaint to Consumer Affairs (CA) and the threat of VCAT for IKEA to eventually accept responsibility.

My advice is go to CA after what I assume is IKEA's standard initial refusal to do the right thing, then go straight to VCAT if still no resolution. Dont waste months like I did, in assuming I was dealing with a company that cares about its customers. Better yet, dont buy anything from them at all.

(nice little add on - I also got asked to review the 50 individual items (shelves etc) that made up the 2 wardrobes... almost comical)

My granny flat went from no storage to having loads of storage in a matter of hours! – I recently moved into a granny flat that had absolutely no storage besides a couple of cupboards in the kitchen. No laundry/linen cupboard, no pantry… Read more

and nowhere to put my clothes. After spending hours on the internet, going from furniture shop to shop and spending several hours at IKEA, I settled on the Musken wardrobe because of the amount of storage it had, it looked easy to assemble and because it had this "old" look that would suit my old granny flat.

I bought 2 wardrobes, they fit in the Hyndaui Iload van easily and took 4 hours to assemble in total. Instructions were easy to follow. I recommend reading them from start to finish, before starting to assemble so you have a rough idea of how it all goes together. Don't get ahead of yourself.

I am really happy with the quality. The doors and drawers are working really well and they haven't gotten stuck or bowed. The wardrobe comes with optional shelves, I left them out so I could hang long dresses. I think for the amount of storage you get, it's an absolutely bargain. The only downside is that they look like they would be difficult to pull apart and move to the next rental, so I will probably leave them and sell them to the future tenant. If you move a lot and don't have the man power or a trailer, then look for something else. If you're staying somewhere long term, then this is your wardrobe.
