It’s actually not like building a lego set. If you’ve never touched screws and panels you’re going to need a ten minute video just to figure out how to put a door on a cabinet from Ikea even though that’s a pretty simple job if your cabinet allows it and I know I had anxiety considering they were basic cabinet parts because the shit I was holding was expensive. And even if it was as simple as popping a drawer and unscrewing things it was still a pain in the ass.

Trying to imagine how telling people that buying a bunch of parts separately after verifying that they do indeed work together and fit inside the cabinet after figuring out what parts you need and them assembling everything from scratch is like building legos is not a mark of being a complete dweeb.

Especially when a lot of people who have never built a cabinet from Ikea before are probably completely new to that sort of thing in general and have no frame of reference.

In short I’d really like redditors to shut the fuck up.

IKEA furniture isn’t like building with a Lego set, it’s somehow easier.

Lego has better manufacturing tolerances, I’ve never had a lego hole with a connecter hole so far off that it wouldn’t fit and needed to be nailed to the other pieces

Honestly that pretty sounds great. My favorite part of working for office depot was building the chairs for customers.

How quickly did the floor models wear out, or how frequently did they need to be replaced?
