IKEA is cheap and good, but a pain in the ass to set up and keep together for a long time. It doesn't take long before it begins to move more than good is if you don't tighten the screws.

we have IKEA desks at the office too (keeping the initial costs low )
they're still there after 3 years....

I like Ikea furniture. Its like a new set of Lego, only an adult version of it.

it's also like a quiz with instructions without any words. if you dont do exactly what the images on the "manual" show you're 100% certain to screw at least one part the opposite way....

Yes 'screwing' up is easy with that furniture, isn't it?

What a coincidence. I had a dream last night that I went swimming in the IKEA carpark...

Will you be coming out of the Pax/Hakadal anytime soon?

I don´t have any IKEA furniture in my current apartment come to think of it. Just some lamps and drapes...

[Provost Harrison]

I am very competent with flat pack though, so these things pose me very little problem. Having a full tool set and drill also helps

I assembled a loft bed for my nephew a couple of months ago with my bare hands and a screwdriver.

Most of the contents of my place are the results of working with my own hands Bear in mind I am an analytical chemist which is a pretty practical job so I do have a natural ability with this kind of thing. Must have been all the lego I played with as a kid

Those packs aren't exactly difficult to assemble.

If you can put together a PC, you can put them together no problem.

PH, can you put together...say a hedgehog?
