      <![CDATA[<p>I've always been a big fan of <strong>furniture kits</strong>, I can remember building <strong>cheesy wood-laminate TV stands</strong> with my dad as a kid and being quite pleased to see the results when we were all done.</p><p>As I've recently become reacquainted with the art form, (in the process of furnishing my current apartment) I've gone a little upscale, with much of the new kits coming from <a href="http://www.ikea.com">Ikea</a> as opposed to Home Depot. Although I suppose I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the <a href="http://www.sauder.com">Sauder</a> kits. But the part that troubles me is that <em>none</em> of the manufacturers have the assembly instructions on their websites. Not even so much as a link where you can purchase a <strong>replacement allen wrench</strong> when you have to retighten the damned thing. Seems like a pretty obvious idea for it to have been overlooked by all these companies.</p><p>On a more positive note, the stuff at <a href="http://www.target.com">Target</a> is great, just as good looking as Ikea's, but cheaper. Woo hoo!</p>]]>
