I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed with Ikea. See, when you buy something there and you have to put it together, most would be discouraged by looking at their wordless directions. I was too...at first. But, the drawings are so detailed that it really isn't that tough to put things together.
Imagine my relief then yesterday when I opened the box to our Graco infant swing. The directions had WORDS! I thought for sure it would be a snap to put together. Nope. See, Graco needs to take drawing lessons from Ikea. Despite the fact that there are words (albeit very few) on the directions, the tiny and un-detailed drawings made putting the swing together a very LONG and frustrating task. I finally (after about 2 and a half hours) got it together and have just the mobile that attaches to the top to do.
Good thing Jon is putting together the rest of the stuff. I'll keep a stock of his favorite beer on hand for the weekend when he attempts it all. Heh heh heh!
