This is the new version, the old one is called sultan laxeby. Easily 1.5x the amount of time.

PDF for assembly is still up on the website: https://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/assembly_instructions/sultan-laxe...

I have nightmares of these, I’ll gladly pay someone else to do it next time

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.

That sounds like a good match! I learned with an ex partner that I could assemble furniture, or she could assemble furniture, but if we tried it together we'd both get fustrated and snappy.

Easily solved, but surprising considering how well we were otherwise able to act and interact, even in stressful and difficult circumstances.

> Problem solved :).

Indeed, just need to get a wife now who would love building IKEA furniture now though :)

Was having a lot of house stuff redone after a kitchen fire. Not Ikea, but had a mail order bedframe. Just had the contractor's people put it together.
