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?

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.
