Try buying some assemble-your-own furniture from Target or Wal-Mart. You'll get that much more appreciation for the ease of assembling IKEA furniture and how much sturdier the IKEA furniture is.

damn straight...my sister bought a bed from some non-Ikea store and I helped assemble...and it took me a whole day.

Seriously, when I opened that box, all I got was a bunch of pieces of wood and a bag full of screws.

Meanwhile, my bed was bought from Ikea and it took only an hour and a half.
