In case you missed it: Last year, everyone’s favorite Swedish flat pack palace IKEA purchased TaskRabbit—a major player in the “gig economy” that connects people who are willing to exchange money for small tasks. You know, things like cleaning around the house, filling test tube shots with vodka (that’s a real task) or, you know… assembling IKEA furniture.

Now that their partnership is in full force, TaskRabbit conveniently offers flat-rate pricing for assembling IKEA’s flat-pack furniture (you can see prices here).

We thought you might want to know what IKEA furniture is worth the splurge of paying somebody else to build it for you. So we’re going to turn it over to the experts and enthusiasts on Reddit’s /r/IKEA subreddit to detail what flat pack furniture they think is the hardest to put together.
