Ikea is a synonym for hell

Only 85 easy steps for assembling your furniture Remember when you were little and enjoyed building with blocks. And do you remember when you became an adult and had shit to do during your day. Suddenly building things really didn't seem appealing anymore.
Enter Ikea, Walmart and every other cheap, build-it-yourself store. Don't get me wrong, I like cheap furniture. But when you know that your purchase will require hours of your time for assembly, it kind of kills the allure of cheapness. Plus, when you're done, you'll still have a crappy piece of furniture. I mean, who doesn't like that crappy, 'wood-like' finish and those plastic bolts that look like the same things you played with when you were a kid.
Oh and if you hate the product and want to return it, good luck hauling that crap back to the store. Let's face facts, if you have to' put it together', it's not furniture...it's a toy.
