I have to build the same nightstand again, so the second time around will be easier and correct. Its almost like I have to buy one extra training piece of furniture to make all the mistakes first.

Hopefully you'll internalize some of these lessons, but if you're like me and the plasticity of your brain is not the same as it's used to be, you may forget them soon after you're done and will have to relearn the language the next time.

Kinda like picking up a game you put down months before.

However, if you are not used to their visual language, and what they are trying to mean with their diagrams you end up needing to learn the Ikea instructions language.

And you will only learn by trial and error and hitting these "oh! That's what they meant here" realization moments.

To get around this limitation Ikea has established some common language on their instructions for how to connect two pieces of information such as high level and granular detail.

Things like: this is correct, this is wrong. This side up, this size of screw, etc.

They are adamant and consistent around their rule of not putting text in their tutorials. Which admittedly immensity reduces the cost of Localization, printing, packaging and it works for a global market.

In some cases you can step back and correct your mistake, which will be at worst annoying or frustrating. But in this case the mistake was irreversible. Once the parts had come together they were not coming apart ever again.

Today I assembled a nightstand that had an important, but confusing instruction, in step 1, that would only become clear in step 8. And when it became clear it was not an A-ha moment, but rather a "s*%t" moment.

So next month then

Oh shit, it plays Fable music, I think from the Fable Pub Games?
