I’m amused when TV or comedians make jokes about IKEA furniture being difficult to build. Like, are they confusing IKEA with some dorm furniture they bought at Wal-Mart? Because that junk is sometimes borderline: “make it look like the picture on the box”
I bought a bed a few years back. It was a continental with a headboard. It had a three step instruction with stick figures on it. Essentially, place headboard against wall, push bed against headboard, you’re done, be happy.
Awful bed, but the instructions were the best I’ve ever had. They felt like malicious compliance.

IKEA in a nutshell. Simple to assemble, awful to keep. Terrible results.
It was not IKEA actually. Fancy furniture store.
I still maintain that IKEA is like that though. 😔
Poor quality? Yeah. It’s cardboard, mostly.
Their hallmark isn’t quality though, it’s affordability.
Agreed, and I’m effing done with it. I’d rather pay more for something I do want than less for something I don’t want.
