Who knew there was a championship in flat packing.

    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.

      Awful bed

      IKEA in a nutshell. Simple to assemble, awful to keep. Terrible results.

            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.

                I can get behind this, sustainability.

                Growing up we had a sofa from the 1800s. Nothing from IKEA will last that long.
