i've just spent 5 hours assembling an Ikea bedroom. I would rather sign a contract making tim fisher chairman for life and buy a 10 year waps season ticket than go through that again.
Every chance those sadistic Scandinavian bastards could be getting cited in a divorce shortly.

Yep sympathise! I did a argos kids set of drawers and it took me fecking hours, dreading the wardrobe!

The wife bought a load of flat packed furniture for the house. Six months of gathering dust later she built them, badly, but she built them. I don't think she'll bother buying anything next time

I hate the shop and its bloody arrows I will walk around a shop in the order I want, good for a cheap hotdog though.

Do you read the instructions?

Yeah me too. I've always found it quite therapeutic. Stick on a bit of music and get on with it.

Once you've built one the rest are basically the same too.

Virtually everything they sell (apart from the food items) is Made in China, nothing is remotely Scandinavian.

It's cheap and relatively easy to put together... they do flat pack better than anyone else. Argos' stuff is a nightmare to put together!

If you don't want flatpack then you have to pay much more!

That being said... I got someone in to put our ikea wardrobes in... too many bits for me!

It isn't that hard, most of it is logical

It's grown up lego.

I FUCKING HATE IKEA!!!!!!! It's a theme park for women!. Their furniture is shit, you have to drag your arse around the whole store to get out. I FUCKING HATE IKEA!!!!

Well i quite like it - we don't have kids so the stuff tends to last a bit longer - i like the challenge of a build - nothing i like better ( as someone above) than putting some loud music on and building furniture - SWMBO cant complain can she - when its fucked just chuck it out and get a different colour - lighting though has always been a pain with their unique bulbs - when it used to be up the M^ it was a real chore now in Cov its really quite easy !

Have a tab of acid before you go in. Helps tenfold and makes you feel you're sneaking round people's houses.

Was that you looking through the pretend window into a kitchen beating one off?

100 % in agreement. It's like they don't want you to get out of the place. The Palma branch is panic attack inducing and the quality is just plain shite. Will attempt to avoid it for the rest of my life if possible

I'm now an expert in putting up their bookcases!

Love IKEA and love building flat pack furniture! I'm a bit of a sadist!

Ikea is OK for good ranges of small cheap household items like waste bins, kitchen storage etc. , but would never buy furniture from there now,

No, you don't. You just have to know where the 'secret' doorways and short cuts are.

Only had to go to the ones in Croydon and Brescia, both times ended in explosive arguments.

I thought you loved the Scandinavian model of living?

Kingokings204 · Jul 17, 2017

Me and my wife have a system that works. She goes and gets it and I put it together at home. We all win then and I rather enjoy it. I feel a sense of achievement once it's built. Sad man.

I put together a metal sun lounger from Costco, quite proud of myself but it was supposed to be a gazebo
