Screws - Self Tapping or should I just buy my own??!!

[CordlessJoe]

I thought I wasnt too bad at the flat pack procedure - managed to put up things like TV cabinets, chest of drawers etc. but unless ive lost my "magic touch" Ikea's Aneboda has got me stumped.

I managed to put the frame together - no problems - actually thought what a doddle but that good feeling soon came to an end. Went to put the chest of drawers together and for some apparent reason they have what are plastic white screws which looks like you have to manually screw in with you fingers as there is no "pozie" or cross line to use a screwdriver in -as im not getting anywhere im wondering if they are "self tapping screws" that i need to knock in and then screw.

Is this a normal thing with Ikea cos I usually find their stuff easy to do. Is this something i could just go to my local diy store and changefor a screw that i can actually screw in.

Hopefully someone out there knows what im talking about. thanks for your time in reading this.

Built 2 of these last week.

You just push them im, once there in they dont come out.

Not great though....i tapped them in with a hammer.
