When I designed store fixtures, the assembly instructions had to be written at a 3rd grade reading level, and even then were barely followed.

To me, this is the genius of Ikea instructions.

No words. None.

Just numbers.

Legos for adults.

If you cannot figure out how to assemble Ikea furniture, you’re too stupid to be trusted… basically at all, with any responsibility for anything, imo.
