- wongarsu 4y agoI think a lot of the complaints come from people who never experienced LEGO and haven't heard of the idea that the manufacturer might include spare parts. So when they've got something left over, they feel like they failed.

- rustyminnow 4y agoSome are worse than others. Every time I have to dis/re-assemble our IKEA bedframe, it's a struggle to figure out how the weird spinny locks work - which way to turn them, are they actually engaging? did I strip something? why don't I just go buy a real bed frame? The basic stuff like bookshelves, coffee tables, chairs, maybe desks are pretty easy. But I put together a metal filing cabinet from IKEA once, and it was like a 2 hour ordeal for a piece of junk.
- Arrath 4y agoI'll concede that point, I've never worked with any metal IKEA furniture.
