Seriously considering giving up on this new shelving unit and just living in a pile of disassembled particleboard. How is it possible that furniture assembly instructions can be this bad? I'm convinced thay're intentionally vague, like some kind of bizarre corporate hazing ritual.I'm talking about diagrams that look like they were drawn by a toddler, labels that are missing entirely, and a step-by-step guide that proceeds from Step 1 (attach thingamajig A to whatchamacallit B) directly to Step 4 (somehow you now have a fully functioning bookshelf). Where did steps 2 and 3 go? Are they secret steps? Do I need to unlock them with a cheat code?
Anyone else experience this particular brand of assembly-related frustration? WhatS your go-to method for deciphering thes hieroglyphics? Do you just wing it and hope for the best, or is there some secret online forum dedicated to translating the cryptic language of IKEA and its ilk? I'm starting to think hiring someone woudl have been cheaper...and better for my sanity.
