Ikea (finally) admits its instructions are confusing

Ikea, the Swedish purveyors of modeist DIY home fuishings and 50-cent hot dogs, has heard your pleas: They understand their much-parodied, wordless assembly instructions make things more complicated than they need to be. Thus, they have begun posting how-to videos on their YouTube channel.

The first in the series is a four-minute clip on assembling the Malm bed frame. There are helpful pop-up windows, and viewers can pause, rewind and fast forward easily. New videos are planned weekly, with upcoming spots for the Pax Lyngdal wardrobe and Galant coer desk. No word on whether videos are planned for making Swedish meatballs.

Is assembling stuff from Ikea really that hard?
