H and D did the IKEA furniture assembly 3 yrs ago in a previous apartment. In that apartment she had a roommate who had almost everything else. They did bed, desk and a shelving unit and a small dining set with chairs. He came home with blisters. When she left our state all the IKEA furniture ended up in our garage and under her bed at home. Sadly not work shipping half way across the country. My S is possibly moving into his first off campus apartment and he is driving distance away so at least the IKEA stuff at our house will find a home.
I will check out Target. She will be on her own for assembly. We are not around and she is moving where she knows no one.
The most important order of business will be a bed. I think an air bed is a start. We can use it when we visit. She will be able to search out a local mattress store to find the value mattress set with free delivery once she arrives.
