It's really scary if your bookshelf collapses at about one in the morning.
I was not entirely asleep, just about half-asleep, and for a moment, was too afraid to turn on the light because I was unsure whether I even want to see what caused this noise.
On the positive side, I bought myself a new one now, and it's big enough for all my books, which is a good thing. I didn't have enough room before.
Did I ever mention I love Ikea? Well, I do.
