Building furniture can be a real ordeal.
Of course, this also applies to dismantling.
Ikea has now found a solution that should make dismantling easier for customers.
Munich - If you want your home to be beautiful, you sometimes have to suffer a lot.
The assembly of furniture can quickly degenerate into a frustrating experience.

In reality, even the smallest shelves have their pitfalls and become a real challenge.
Ikea customers are not immune to this either, although the Swedish * group has long since risen to become a cult furniture store, not least because of its products, which are often so easy to put together.
