      My husband and I have a routine for putting together IKEA furniture that we worked out when we first got married and purchased a crib for our daughter. He starts off with tossing the directions to one side, follows with turning up his nose at the Allen wrench, and then getting his electric tools. Once he reaches stage 3 or 4, Breaking ng Point, I come in and using only the Allen wrench, I deconstruct and then reconstruct the piece of furniture. Once completed, and after he's had a nice soothing beer, I point to the areas that need tightening with his electric power tools.
      Works well for us. (I've always been the IKEA furniture whiz for some reason).

    My Dad was a quiet man who rarely pulled pranks. When a car had some issue with the engine, instead of taking it to the shop he figured he could fix it with the help of Chiltons. Six months later he finally had it repaired. He had kept all the broken and worn out parts he'd replaced in a cardboard box. When he was showing Mom the car was up and running right again, he put the box in the backseat. "What's that?" "Oh, that's the stuff I couldn't figure out where it went so I figured I'd just keep it in the car for you so if it breaks again, you can just show the mechanic the box and maybe he can figure out what is wrong." Mom's face was priceless. 😂😂

    As a guy who build furniture like this for a living I can say this is accurate building in the store, but add a couple more steps in between. Turn a screw help a customer, turn a screw help a customer. After 8 hrs it's finally built if it was a complex build. Display and secure it, and a few days later the district manager tells you to move it to the other side of dept and next week tells you to move it back. If your unlucky enough someone would sell said display and you have to do it all over again. Believe me it does not get easier because you had it built once before and you have to do it again.
