Bikeguy Posted May 29, 2021 Share #4 Posted May 29, 2021 I've never visited an Ikea. I guess I many never know about their instructions. Which many be a good thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razors Edge ★ Posted May 29, 2021 Share #8 Posted May 29, 2021 I generally can build most of that stuff without the instructions (most of us will try that the first time anyway), and if I do hit an issue, the instructions have, in the past, been good enough to get me through it fine. On the other hand, any cheap Chinese electronics are going to have impossible "instructions" and super-buggy software (at best), that often leave you wondering why the heck they even bundle any instructions or software. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted May 29, 2021 Share #9 Posted May 29, 2021 I looked for that hieroglyphic inscription with an Google image search and was surprised to find it on legitimate pages about hieroglyphics. I bought a "teach yourself hieroglyphics" book that I studied in the Spring before touring Egypt in the Summer of 1999 and took a crib sheet with me. I can't remember a lot of it - and it focused on stuff you'd find in tombs - but the glyph of the guy's head is definitely not standard. Maybe it's slang!

groupw Posted May 30, 2021 Share #11 Posted May 30, 2021 When daughters moved to AZ, there were several trips to IKEA. Oh helped with assembly of several pieces. Never had any issues. I had the instructions to the side just in case. Rarely needed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
