Years (decades? 😬) ago I worked at a furniture store, sales mostly, but I was there for a month helping the store setup. Mostly wiring the TV wall, but I also put together 5 lifetimes worth of flat pack furniture. After a while it just clicks and the instructions aren't even necessary 👍

The first thing I do is burn the instructions. No one is going to tell me what to do with my own damn Smärtairumpan.
I follow the instructions, closely. Stray at your own risk...but don't come crying to me when you need to remove a bunch of wood pegs you jammed in
I guess with that level of expertise I would forgive skipping instructions. Everyone else should read them twice
