Except for IKEA executives, they would spend 4 years assembling the cabinet.

i like this joke.
i have bought furniture from ikea, and they all have eight screws and take five minutes to put together.
is the idea of difficult Ikea furniture assembly solely created by stand-up comedians or did assembly used to be genuinely more difficult?
Yeah, it’s definitely a trope of stand up comedy, with couples breaking up, and never having any proper tools on hand (using a kitchen knife instead of a screwdriver).
I find them easy but IKEA furniture is pretty simple compared to a decent size Lego set.
Boy a hundred percent of this. I have given up on lego sets but i can put together furniture hungover without the proper tools
I think Ikea furniture has become synonymous with all pre-fab, assemble your self furniture.
In my personal expirence with larger items (non-ikea) like desks, the assembly itself is super easy. The time consuming part is sorting out 100 pieces and realizing towards the end that the picture book didn’t tell you one part had a specific direction to go.
good point, someone else pointed that people might be saying ikea when they mean any flatpack.
second good point on the sheer number of pieces. I’ve swapped bolts putting together a bedframe.
thanks.
Soon after it was formed, somebody dubbed Finland’s current government coalition the IKEA cabinet
-took seven weeks to assemble
-barely holds together
-leans heavily to the right
