Is a day at Ikea your nightmare? Well, we're opposites. I love it. I love it more than anyone I know, which is weird because I really dislike their furniture. I'm 30 and I feel strongly that I shouldn't be able to assemble everything I own with an alan key.
It's all about that marketplace (don't want no treble). However, if you must get furniture here (for me it was baby stuff, and there are definitely certain things like closet systems, I concede Ikea just does best), you should know one thing: For about $100 they will come to your house and assemble it. What a revelation! Within two weeks of purchasing your closet system, crib or whatever someone will not only deliver it but assemble it. Annnnnd the villagers rejoice!
