2. There was a time, when I lived 10 minutes away from an IKEA show room in MA. I bet they had what I was looking for.

Never thought to check.

But I wonder how many people have problems with assembling products that need to ship in the most space saving configurations? I had 300 pcs of hardware in this kit. I'm reasonably mechanically inclined, know how do read drawings, CAD files, and manufacturing process sheets. But, trying to understand the assemble of the pre-assembled parts is pretty much impossible. Gonna hope there is a video out there that can help me put this together. Also need 2, possibly 4 extra hands to mange this part of the assembly process. That will take planning.
