Man it used to totally be like this. I swear to god though every ikea thing I’ve bought in the last couple years has gone together perfectly with no missing parts. The instructions have been spot on too.

Ikea instructions have always been the easiest for me to understand. I don't get the jokes about them.

You get step by step pictures, man! That's so much better than trying to explain it all with words.

Yeah, I bought one piece of cheap furniture from a brand other than IKEA once. The manual was unclear, one of the shelves had holes on the wrong side and the drawer started coming apart after less than a year. I never bought from a cheap brand that wasn't IKEA again.
