    IKEA instructions are clear, concise, and complete. A better comparison would be Chinese flatpack trash from Wayfair with poorly photocopied diagrams, inscrutable Engrish, and missing steps.

      I use IKEA directions as a barometer for basic problem solving skills. They’re designed to use universal symbols and no wording so anyone can follow them. If you can’t follow those directions, well… It’s not the instructions that are the problem.

      Based off my limited experience, Wayfair furniture is intentionally designed to be as frustrating as possible to assemble.
