It’s most helpful if you organize the pieces first, make sure you’ve got everything you’re supposed to, and THEN dive into those not-terribly-helpful IKEA pictograms.
I enjoy putting together furniture like that, and yes, I read the directions. My brother has no talent for it, so he tries, and invariably calls me for help when the parts don’t fit together as expected.

Do you have any idea how many of those allen wrench keys we have now? One for each piece we have put together at least, and all the same size.

Well at least by Friday, not sure what the final product will be.

I think it’s hilarious that the instructions call an allen wrench a key.
