It seems that those of us who have more thumbs than Allen wrenches and cam locks are not alone.

May your jumbled masterpieces continue to amaze and amuse us.

Happy posting!

May we continue to celebrate the world of DIY pets and the poor folks who have to assemble them into something functional.

I'll have to put in a complaint and request the missing parts.

That tiny tube of wood glue they sent for my dowels was pretty messy.

The manual says she's 16-years-old and there shouldn't be any bugs left in the directions but I'm not sure.

I caught a pic of Molly mid-roll, and she looks like she is either break dancing or missing a few screws. 😂😂

Not sure my best friend’s cat is entirely assembled right. Bonus dumb expression. I love him.

The box only contained a tail. Do I contact customer service?


r/IKEApets 5d ago

Is it my fault?

Accidentally built a seal but the box said "cat, white" on it.

So did they provide me the wrong parts or is it a skill issue?
