everything is a fricking chore
do you buy ikea furniture on a weekly basis or what
You have to use hand tools or you'll blow out the veneer they use to cover their dogshit particle board made of poached wood.
Agreed with OP. It's not hard it's just a pain in the ass. Worst part is that the final product is pretty mid and won't survive getting rebuilt a few times.
It would be nice if they had high quality product lines. I like the style, flat pack and DIY aspect. Just needs better material and fasteners.
my home is full of ikea shit that is 10+ years old and has been broken down and reassambled at least 3 times so far and i have no problem
maybe they are built better in the EU

Bean counters have since sent in the Wall Street material science gays to transform wood into cardboard.
Sorry to hear the high taxes of your eurocucked nanny state have made it so hard to make or buy anything new.

I just made two days worth of pay gaming Wayfair. I assembled one coffee table dresser set and then a second dresser. Two hours of work.
Assembly is beneath the trades. The brands try to make assembly as easy as possible. There's generally some unexpected difficulty but trades involve making many small decisions. Building the cabinet from scratch would be a trade.

Well that's the thing, I have this old white marble/brass end table in need of restoration. I need to know the best way to get that brass looking like new.
Also I'm in the process of deciding the color scheme for the MCM repro furniture that's going in my living room/office.
I'm strongly considering shades of brown for all except the white marble/brass nesting table, coffee table, end table. I figure it will match the drapes and ceiling to provide some much needed contrast against the furniture lining the room's perimeter.
>walls
Fake wood laminate, beige-ish
>carpet
light brown/gray
>doors and trim
Dark Walnut
>sofa(already bought)
Camel brown
>Computer Desk(already bought)
Oak/black metal legs
>office chair
Camel brown
>entertainment center
Oak with copper gilding on the door
>turntable stand
Oak/black metal legs
Does this seem coherent or will the white marble frick it all up?

Old used things are best because the trash never makes it that far. See

For brass use brasso, it'll frick up stuff other than brass/ copper tho if you don't cover it
