I just spent 3 hours assembling IKEA furniture for a laughably obvious design flaw
So I was trying to get some home decor projects done tonight and I picked up this 'simple' side table from IKEA. I mean, how hard can it be, right? I've built some furniture in my time. Big deal. I get home, start following the instructions... and I'm about 2 hours in when I realize the entire thing is asymmetrical. Like, the designers apparently thought it'd be a great idea to put the support beam on one side but not the other. What kind of genius comes up with this? I swear, it's like they expect you to just eyeball it and hope for the best. And don't even get me started on the 'adjustable' leg that's actually just a glorified wedge. I ended up having to MacGyver some extra screws just to get it stable. Anyone else have a similar IKEA fail story?
