Assembly Instructions from HELL

[Mr. Analog]

These are the kind of instructions I expect from IKEA!

I have assembled several things from IKEA in the past 6mo... Most of it is easy, till you get to that one step were the part can fit two ways but only one is the correct one and it happens to use the non removable plugs that are hard to correct.

Often I read the instructions a few times first to get an idea of what goes where and even that doesn't help.

Of course at least I'm using parts that exist in 3 dimensions (unlike some of the examples above haha)

Must be my European childhood - I never have problems assembling IKEA furniture.  Some of the Made-In-China Walmart furniture, though, confounds me.

Most of it isn't a problem, the problems I have had recently:

- single use plastic plugs to assemble drawers
- cheap tools that are needed to reach between parts (special screwdriver that broke on me)

I'm really hating that Ikea doesn't include mounting screws anymore.
