Why IKEA Furniture Isn’t Always Easy to DIY
Why IKEA Furniture Isn’t Always Easy to DIY
IKEA has built its reputation on stylish, affordable furniture. But anyone who has attempted one of their flat-packs knows: building it isn’t always as simple as it looks on the box.
🧩 Hundreds of Small Parts
An IKEA wardrobe or bed can come with 200+ pieces, many of which look almost identical. It’s easy to confuse screws, dowels, and cam locks, leading to mistakes that require re-assembly.
📖 Tricky Instructions
IKEA’s minimalistic picture-only manuals leave a lot of room for interpretation. Miss one step or flip one panel the wrong way, and you’ll find yourself disassembling and starting again.
💪 Heavy & Bulky Items
Larger items like PAX wardrobes or BRIMNES beds often require two people just to hold panels in place. Trying to tackle it alone can be dangerous and exhausting.
🛠️ Risk of Damage
One slip of a screwdriver can scratch a panel. A stripped cam lock can mean instability. Replacement parts often take weeks to arrive — leaving your furniture half-finished.
