Ikea Says Its New Furniture Takes Only 5 Minutes To Assemble - Here's The Truth 

This video is straight-up slander/libel/defamation... whatever you want to call it. Not to mention, everyone in the video is biased against IKEA furniture in the first place, BEFORE THEY EVEN STARTED.

Those guys are such a disgrace... So proud to display their inability to read an instruction manual and use the most basic tools...

The biggest problems are a lack of 1) no explanation that the screws etc. shown in the instructions are true size. 2) No number stickers on each piece corresponding to = numbers indicated on the printed instructions. Recently I assembled a storage cupboard purchased at Staples. It was very simple to match part to position. Yes some people are experts at assembling Ikea products but most of us may only do it once or twice in a life time. Go Ikea.

And you call yourself a serious news source?

Wow...that girl's sense of time was spot on! But to be fair they should have been given screwdrivers.

If they did more working and less complaining, it would be faster

And the swedes encourage you to videotape this so they can have a good laugh!

So now we know why he's the boss!

LOL! More a comment on the people building than the furniture itself...

This is absolutely ridiculous not having the right tools for the job.

Sorry IKEA not going to take 5mins to build. I put together 2 (kullen) 3 drawer dressers last night. The manual is super helpful the hint is to follow step by step. The drawers confused me a bit have to admit. Took 3hrs: 2 for 1st and 1 for 2nd. I watched tv while building and took breaks. Also watched a 3min video for help as well.They are structurally sound and sturdy! Oh and I built them by myself.

These people are ridiculous.

MBAs, everyone! MBAs!

I have assembled RTA furniture from The Container Store, from Costco and from IKEA. IKEA does the WORST job of all with poor instruction graphics and the absolute worst system (or lack of a system) for packaging screws, dowels and other hardware. The IKEA desk included a one-sheet instruction drawing, but all screws, dowels and miscellaneous hardware were thrown into one big plastic grab bag--good luck to the customer. The Container Store desk came with multiple blister packs containing the hardware, and each blister pack was stamped/numbered with the actual number correlating to the step in the instruction booklet. It was PERFECT and FLAWLESS. I cannot believe some Swedish genius hasn't figured out that this is the ONLY way to package hardware for these insanely ridiculous assembly projects. The Container Store rules!

Even before the video started I somehow knew the guy with the tie would somehow end up finishing the job, the girl would start freaking she might screw it up and the kid in the center just might give up (though I couldn't say that soon). Stereotypes are there for a reason people!

the 3 could not assemble because they have little exp in assembling...period...These people are the worst examples for this test. This has no credibility.

i put an ikea dresser together in 2 hours with only instructions how do they think this is hard

😀😀Using an iPhone to loosen a fitting is a new one. Well done to the boss for persisting. Mark of a true leader.

After assembling the same units 4-5 times you probably can do it in 5 minutes.

sweatshirt dork HOLDING ONTO THE PIECE HES TRYING TO ASSEMBLE

now ask them to dial a phone, maybe the older guy can.

The guy in the tie is breaking my back just watching him.

Once you learn everything about the particulars of these products its not hard at all. That being said, until you can get past that point I found it frustrating and comparable to landing on a foreign planet . hmmm havent been able to complete that either.Hang in there!

Вы никогда не соберёте любую мебель за 5 минут, даже зная её досконально, не говоря уже о человеке, который первый раз её собирает. И не важно, ИКЕА это или мебель другого производителя. То же самое относится к сборщикам мебели: если он первый раз собирает какую то мебель, то на это может уйти достаточно много времени, даже если у человека полные знания о фурнитуре. Поэтому в его адрес неуместно говорить: а чё так долго собираешь?! Да даже если и не первый раз. You will never assemble any furniture in 5 minutes, even knowing it thoroughly, not to mention the person who collects it for the first time. And it doesn't matter if it's IKEA or furniture from another manufacturer. The same applies to furniture assemblers: if he is assembling some kind of furniture for the first time, then it can take quite a long time, even if the person has complete knowledge about fittings. Therefore, it is inappropriate to say to him: why are you collecting for so long ?! Yes, even if not the first time.

Tips : Use your head not the iPhone Plus Swedes have high IQ, any boy or Girl 15 years old needs under 10 minutes, without Manual iPhone Plus to mount a Regisör bookshelf and without speaking with each other also. The problem are not the bookshelf iself rather how many engineers you need to mount an ordinary electric bulb. Man has a refined intelekt some have intuition use it now an then it will keap your brain sharp :-)

The first one you do is always the hardest.

It's times like these we get to see the hypocrisy of "feminists". "Gender roles" 🤣

Thats explain why he is the CEO

And like that a new trend has begun. Sort of like the Rubik's cube records, but with ikea furniture xD Who will assembly it faster? xD

IKEAS testers were all Asians... They should hire average Americans to test the construction of their furniture. Obviously it takes 60 minutes, not 5

This is not interesting... I want to learn how to assemble people for strike, etc... how to motivate and lead masses. not to assemble furniture... lol =))

Everything I ever bought at IKEA was absolute trash. Assembling it was not the problem; - Keeping the paper-based cardboard desks from sagging until they are utterly useless; that's the problem. The desk I am using was a replacement for an earlier one that they replaced because of its sagging a full 5 cm (2") in the middle. This one now has a piece of 2x4 standing between my knees to hold it up flat enough to use the keyboard.

This seriously took 20 mins to put up? And you give business advice?! For shame

hah! newbies.

LoL more like 4-6hrs
