Ikea Furniture Assembly Nightmares
It isn’t just IKEA, other brands also share a similar nightmarish approach to assembling their products but in our opinion, IKEA does win over the competition with the hardest to follow, confusing assembly directions out there.
Here are some real stories from real people about their IKEA experiences that we couldn’t help sharing a laugh over:
“At the very least, each box should contain a warning label that reads: "This box contains materials that are extremely harmful for your marriage. Proceed with caution." However, I'm also not totally convinced that this warning label doesn't already exist. The problem is I can't read it . . . because my native tongue doesn't happen to be Swedish. So I'm left to my own interpretation on what the stick figures are doing in the instruction manual. It's honestly like I'm trying to interpret hieroglyphics.”
There’s a pretty general consensus among couples that if you can survive a trip to Ikea together, you can survive anything else life throws at you. That’s because the Swedish furniture giant is known for massive stores with nearly-endless aisles and sections selling everything from outdoor furniture to plastic baby cutlery. In other words, if it goes into your home, they sell it. And while a relationship may weather the shopping trip together, the jury is still out on whether it can survive the furniture assembly. Luckily for us, all this frustration has given way to hilarious Ikea jokes and puns that will have you rolling with laughter.
