Did you purchase a bookshelf from target?

Pro tip - cut the plastic on sides near the base with utility knife, not the cardboard. You can see what your doing, without flipping 10x.

Looks like the clever folks at IKEA have done it again

Is this for a closet organizer? I just put one of these together, parts looked like that.

until they get something wrong, or miscount... or it's not labeled, or mislabeled...
SquishyStoat
Great packaging method, horrible furniture.
MikeInSoCal562
buy a cheap caulk gun and a tube of liquid nails construction adhesive. apply where test fitting parts come together.
Specskankular
I'll still fuck it up and have parts left over.
WTFJohnny
They should also label the group of parts to coincide with the directions.
MoooCow
I just bought a cheap office chair that did this. Small parts were grouped by step and labeled.

And they never include spares for important parts. Whenever we send out furniture with hardware kits, we send an extra 5-10 of shit.
StevenBriggs
Still missing a piece, though.

"F screw F screw, where is the F screw?" (reads instructions) "Says here, if it was in my ass I'd know it. Well okay then E screw it is."
Ifyourenotfirstyourelast
I recently had my first experience with parts in blister-type packaging. It was excellent! Nothing got lost and they included extras.

Is this from Walmart lol?

Ikea does this too for larger items (with many steps) and even labels the bags 1, 2, 3, etc.
Meilkor
pls... make the packaging perforated...
Clockworkdancerobot
*opens entire package and all parts spill out*... Oh.. shit.
3RsReadingRitingRithmatic
If only there were little thin plastic resealable containers or bags if you would, that one could label or number by step. Someday maybe.

Recently went my college to assemble a desk. My dad "helped" by tearing out the bottoms of the labeled plastic bags and dumped all of 1/2
iAmTheTravinator
the parts onto the ground, which looked like a dog got into it or something, and then he gave up so I had to figure it out by ear 2/2

Ikea it's not. Its better.
gmoney4321
Shit, thats why its like that?

So, I should expect the 3 lb drilling hammer and pry bar that ends up being a "step" in every one of my builds to be shrink wrapped also ..?

As always, you must provide your own tools.
Brownot
Smart
stronomer
Yes, and very necessary for all IKEA customers for whom the standard manuals are simply too complicated.
Brownot
Yeah that's what I was Ikea needs to do this
ItCanOnlyBeANipple
I have genuinely never struggled with IKEA flat packs. Other, brands have given me headaches, but never IKEA. Maybe I'm just lucky?
stronomer
Maybe I have just been snarky...
LiterallyWorseThanHitler
LEGO has been doing this for quite some time now afaik, at least for the more complex sets.
canibFrank
Yup!
Hellstorm99
They do to an extent. It also has to do with size and shape as well. With sets over 4,000 pieces, it is appreciated.
BranAlastor
And I somehow hate it. It cuts building time down to a 6th. No more rummaging through 10+ tupperware bowls... :(
ButterfaceTaintClown
You're literally worse than Hitler.
uberarticuno
That explains some of the cost.
Ayyylmeow
Do they? When I was younger I used to just open everything then get started...
WhyIsThisStillEvenAQuestion
They phased it in in 2009 ish. It's a godsend on the bigger sets
hbCartoonJumper
Wound't that be taking most fun out of the process? Furniture is useful for the end result, legos are imo most enjoyable for the process.
FungusForge
For some its building, for others its the assembled set.
BantersaurousRex
Lego...
JamesCoyle
For the bigger sets you aren't searching through 1500 pieces to find that one single tiny round bit. Its broken into smaller sets.
LiterallyWorseThanHitler
Well, you have different bags, each bag is usually, like... a few dozen steps in the instructions?
IAMGR00T
You can still just dump it all out in a pile if you want. Many just want to build and not sort.
BenSnow97
It's only broken down to categories, you still have like 100 steps each
Chronove
And the process is building / creating... not sorting pieces... There are people who build machines just to sort legos ^^
hbCartoonJumper
Well structured creativity can be appealing to some,i suppose.I always preferred to mash my entire collection together and go from there.
