Last week, June bought a HEMNES chest of drawers from the IKEA in Washington, D.C. which we brought up to State College, P.A. Upon opening the box, I noticed that the assembly manual was missing. Having an undergraduate degree in IKEA furniture assembly, I thought that the assembly would be an easy task even without the manual. I soon found out that there were a few critical pieces missing, and not the kind of pieces that I could easily manufacture in the lab. I took these pictures so that I could compare what I have to what I should have to be able to build this thing then I go back to IKEA DC later today.
The contest is simple, be the first to figure out what is missing from the complete package and leave a comment. I already know one thing that is missing and will hopefully know the rest of the missing items later today. For the prize, I will send you something small from my office and recognize you on microblog. Caveat: I will only send to U.S. or Canada, sorry everyone else!

I don’t see any of the slides that mount on the drawers, although all the sides are flipped down in the pictures.

I see the most important thing that is missing … ALCOHOL. There is no way to assemble prefab furniture like that, without drinking heavily.
with that said … I will be awaiting my prize.
