Where did you pull this data from?
I think its AI sentiment generated data, no way someone needs 6.5h for a bed frame. I needed at best 2h...
The time it takes to assemble Ikea furniture is very dependent on your experience with it, and if you're using an assembly driver or not.
..and space, try to assemble bulky bed in small bedroom

Not a good idea on modern Ikea furniture that's basically engineered wood and cardboard. Way too easy to strip out the threads.
Yes but this website seems to assume that one will need to Google what a screwdriver is for an hour before they start assembling anything.
I needed 45 min. Should it be 45 mins then?
Apparently there used to be a built in estimator in the checkout process [1]. I member having seen that somewhere as well, but it's been ages since I ordered online from Ikea, I always go in person to stuff myself full of hotdogs and meatballs LOL

3h of fun for a mere $140.
I've seen more expensive hobbies.
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.
