A big part of IKEA's business model is people undervaluing their own time. Their furniture is cheap, but that's because there's no cost for the labour to putit together.

I get for some people they have no choice and need to go with what's most accessible, but that's why I try avoid IKEA

Look I don't super mind it. Most furniture is all flat pack now, and if it saves a few bob it might be worth it. I'm a bit disappointed though, it's not the most comfy
