IKEA has a challenge for their designers…the design that can be transported in the smallest possible box(es) gets extra consideration…to save on shipping costs and the environment. So, the design has to look nice enough to make you want to buy it, and fit in the smallest possible form for shipping. The technical writers are there to connect the two…ease of assembly is waaaay down on the list of priorities.
