Hehe, also I just checked. It is solid pine 

Laminate doesn't mean 'covered in plastic', it means 'layerered'. 1-2 mm of real pine can cover a nice stable chipboard base quite convincingly...

I know the type he has, and £20 5 years ago is about right. You can dig a fingernail in.

You can find similar style/quality in that pikey store who's name escapes me...  ...the place I get my gas camping cylinders from now

£15/19, which ever. It was what I had to spend, it's still being used today. Nothing has broken, it's not fallen to bits. It's been in daily use, survived parties along with being chucked in a van twice and lugged around. Shed loads of boxes stacked on it in the van, also in garage while stored for couple of months, still going strong. So I personally consider that a successful purchase & far from shite 

When it was nice and new, incidentally, it still looks the same 

What sort of party food is that tunnie  .....carrots, celery, twiglets and a few crisps with some dips.... please dont send me an invite

Oh...except they drive shite cars.

Also ironic is Ikea stuff is DIY, much like Omega servicing.

Looks like its been made from a load of matchwood offcuts. Each to their own, as long as you are happy, that is all that matters. 

I personally prefer solid hardwood with oak or mahogany my preferred choices. You only make or buy them once as they last more than a lifetime.

Never been to an Ikea, very unlikely to, so can't comment.

Good job

Is it cold weird and devoid of daylight.... or humour?  Because it's no joke you know.


How to become a nimby I wonder?

Nope.  Although judging by the mutterings and cursing from Mrs TB, I suspect she has been there. I chose to avoid the subject, far safer that way...
