Second IKEA question -- Rationell drawers

[dr.girlfriend]

I don't know what's wrong with me, usually I'm an IKEA master!  I got the Rationell pull-out drawers for this pantry, and I CANNOT get the drawer part together.  Once again, the instructions just say "click!" but when I try to click them together they don't fit, and pushing too hard actually bends the little metal part.  I seem to be the only person in the history of ever to have this problem, because there's not even an IKEA tutorial for it, and there are tutorials for EVERYTHING!  Any ideas?  I'll try to take pictures tonight of what I'm doing, but it seems so clear how things shold fit together, they just...don't.  Argh.

ETA: Just found this on IKEAfans:

"Orientation of back panel piece matters. I tried clicking it in with the front-to-back orientation reversed and it seemed as if it should click, but doesn't and you can actually bend one of the metal tabs by accident."

Could I be dorky enough to have not tried turning the back piece around? Maybe. Lesson learned -- never try to DIY after midnight, especially when you're already frustrated!!!

Poor dr.girlfriend. ((hugs)) and wine to you.

On second thought, DIY with wine doesn't sound like a great idea either.

Update: Yeah, that's totally what I did. It made sense to me that all the tabs would face in, but apparently the tab on the back faces out. Doh! I've learned my lesson on both counts -- when in doubt, you're doing it backwards!
