Except for IKEA executives, they would spend 4 years assembling the cabinet.

People say "IKEA" as a shortcut to saying flatpack furniture in general. Actual IKEA brand stuff is pretty good, but I've assembled some horrible stuff from other brands.

I've assembled a bed from Emma (German brand) that took me 3 days to assemble.

It was awful. It did not have instructions In it, just a QR code that redirect on a websitz with ALL the manuals. Then when you find your bed you have to naviagte between 10 different versions depending of the options you have, they all look similar but have different assembly.

Then when you finally assembled your first corner, you think it will be easy for the other 3 but no, they used a totally different assembly method for the next corner for no reason.

Instead of the 40 identical length dowel pins I had 50 pins in 3 different sizes, knowing that the longest don't fit in all holes so if you only use the shorts one at the end you are stuck with the long one you can't use.

....

This was pure garbage, IKEA on the other is so satisfying to assemble.
