Where did you pull this data from?

mawadev•1h ago

I think its AI sentiment generated data, no way someone needs 6.5h for a bed frame. I needed at best 2h...

The time it takes to assemble Ikea furniture is very dependent on your experience with it, and if you're using an assembly driver or not.

Yes but this website seems to assume that one will need to Google what a screwdriver is for an hour before they start assembling anything.

> and if you're using an assembly driver or not

Not a good idea on modern Ikea furniture that's basically engineered wood and cardboard. Way too easy to strip out the threads.

Apparently there used to be a built in estimator in the checkout process [1]. I member having seen that somewhere as well, but it's been ages since I ordered online from Ikea, I always go in person to stuff myself full of hotdogs and meatballs LOL

I needed 45 min. Should it be 45 mins then?

LÖNSET Slatted bed base King 302.787.13

3h of fun for a mere $140.

I've seen more expensive hobbies.

I hate building IKEA furniture, my wife loves building IKEA furniture. Problem solved :).

Same with shopping at IKEA. I know all the shortcuts in our local IKEA so that I can exit the store as quickly as possible.

If you look at the item number and it begins with an s, it means it's a combination of multiple articles. If you click "what's included" you'll see what articles it consists of. The assembly documents will include the assembly documents for each child article. On the top pax, you can see it actually consists of 20 distinct child articles (some of which require no assembly).

I believe this table needs a column for the disassembly process as well.

I bought and assembled a TUFFING Bunk Bed years ago, and even though the complexity of assembly is reported as 4644 on this web site (which is also suspiciously low), as far as I can tell the only way to disassemble it is to use an angle grinder.
