TIL mom and I think alike. I hate that stuff, besides assembly it is usually make like crap / garbage. You do get what you pay for, they have driven good furniture manufacturing out of business so you see more and more of that stuff.
I keep telling my wife not to bring home that stuff as I don't want to assemble it. A while back we had a bed that had so many parts it took us 2 days to put it together, it was nuts, like a huge puzzle. When we moved to our new home I took a hammer to that bed and pulverized it, I then put it into my SUV piece by piece to be transported to a refuse bin at my work as I wasn't taking it apart and re-assembling it at the new home. no no.

to not buy any A$$embly Required furniture on line...... 2 chairs from Overstock were a good price but the allen wrench assembly was quite 
& the seat did not fit the way it should
of course I tossed the box and wasn't even gonna diss assemble them to return so just a learning lesson 
you get what you paid for

TIL from Mom’ s not to buy furniture online. I did buy IKEA furniture years ago and it has held up extremely well. Once we find a condo/house/townhome, I will need to replace the mattress as it’ s almost 15 years old and it’s time. I may get a few new pieces but who knows.
Today I learned dave needs a new mattress
we sold ours with the bedroom furniture the buyers of our house bought ( weird to buy a mattress that way IMO ) but what ever so we needed one anyway as that one was a lil over 10 years oldI like going to IKEA and have bought several things there, not necessarily build furniture but other stuff.

T.I.L. that there is a test button behind the access panel in a Ferrari 348 that once you press the button it will pull codes, one button for each bank of cylinders, and the codes will flash on the dash. Pretty cool.
