I love the way Mandy is so pleased that they got it right. You have to be married a long time to withstand IKEA assembly when you’ve misplaced the instructions. 😂
I have a friend who was getting married in the Catholic Church and they had to take premarital classes. She said forget that, just get an entertainment center from Ikea and try to put it together,that will show you how compatible you are
A video entitled "IKEA" that is under 3 minutes. Those are editing skills worthy of an award!!! There is SOOOOO much more cursing and throwing of things in our house when these events happen.
This made my MONTH. "Is this the kind of thing that goes into two holes?" "Those things should be pushed into something." And Mandy laughing at everything. Such goodness.
Love love these two, when Catherine said do these go in both holes and Mandy lost it. And then hearing the son cracking up behind the camera as well..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💖
Whenever I'm sitting alone with my iPad laughing, my family knows I'm watching one of your family videos! Thanks for making us laugh! Brilliant work with no directions! Seriously, brilliant!
So funny! The two of you are so entertaining. Who knew that watching you put together a piece of furniture from IKEA would be so comedic. Lots of love from snowy, cold Toronto, Ontario :)
LMBO@ the instructions finally making an appearance. I was thinking if I was doing the assembly, I'd very likely search to see in there was an instruction video on RUclips. I've learned a lot from various instruction videos.
Mandy, I've done 36 IKEA projects at home here in southern California. I have a draw full of allen wrenches. and I think someone in Sweden is in charge of new names .its easy. Just take any combination of letters and make sure they look Scandanavian before your done.
I once helped a few friends put together over a dozen IKEA Malm beds for a start-up BNB. I'm still looking for a way to get that in on my resume. These are skills that I need to share with the world!
We spent an hour assembling a tv stand today, thank goodness we had the instructions, but we ache from head to toe and still have to finish tomorrow, lol! We are feeling your pain!
I'm late catching on to these videos, but this is one I've had to watch a few times because it makes me laugh out loud. If you're having a rough day, I recommend the comic relief of Kathryn/Mandy - any of their videos!
Let me just say that as a couple if you can put an IKEA piece of furniture together, and come out of it alive, the both of you having resisted the urge to kill the other… Then you are gold!… And by the way, you both ARE gold! I love you so much. You bring me such joy. I sincerely mean that. God bless you both. And thank you Gideon!!💗🥰🙌
I swear this would be like me and husband doing this only I would want to throw something at him. To funny, nice to know there are other crazy couples out there dealing with life's little struggles, you two are beautiful, and pretty damn funny love from Oregon
And, I love when Becky checks in. Ikea assembly with instructions is bad enough but I laughed when you laughed. We weren't shown the finished item. Bookcase perhaps. I hope you can return to your cabin and film your walks with Becky. I love that dog.
This absolutely cracked me up! I hadn't been in an IKEA store in years until just recently when I decided to put a simple shelving unit in my laundry area. Needless to say, my husband and I had a very similar experience. Seeing how you managed made me feel so much better. Nice to know we aren't alone in our initial bewilderment of an IKEA project. Somehow I doubt we will go that route again. Buying something fully assembled is so much less stressful.
My husband has been in construction for 34 years and he installed Ikea cabinets for a friend. He said that was the most frustrating thing he had ever done in 34 years, lol.
I retired, moved to different state, bought a new house, and then bought IKEA furnishings for guest bedrooms. . . Now that they are all assembled, I kind of miss scooting around the floor on my rear, then struggling to stand up.
This how it goes in our house. I read the instructions and take inventory of all the "bits"; while I'm doing that, my hubby is already half way through assembly. We measure success by not having any bits left over.
I just ordered a red cabinet from Wayfair with no instructions I learned I had to go online and down load them. I love you two make me senile everyday!
Ya' can sit on the floor but how do you safely gt down there and worse, how do you get up? Oh, gosh, you set each other up with this Ikea holes question. But I saw my parent's work together on all sorts of projects and they had fun and it always looked so good. That was a pleasure to witness. Terri
I am amazed at how unstressed you both are, my husband and I would have been screaming at each other. I remember the trouble we had putting a vegetable rack together...
This is why you find a pile of half finished furniture on the street on trash day . I admire your patience I have a lovely rolling cart sitting in a box for 3 years you reminded me I have :)
I seem to remember reading an article about IKEA some years ago .... with reference to any of their instruction manuals: the line went that IKEA is Swedish for divorce.
I find the fastest way to put anything like this together is to start putting it together wrong, swear loud enough to be heard - and wait for my engineer brain husband to swoop in to save the poor thingummmy from certain death. Over thirty-one years, and my method hasn’t failed yet.

The 12 year-old-boy chuckle after “ are these the ones that go in both holes?” 😆
I’m impressed that Mandy had the reserve not to say “ that’s what she said “ on at least two different occasions. 🤣❤️
Because he doesn’t have a dirty mind and he’s always a mature gentleman..until he said “F’n A” at the end Lol
This was both hilarious and validating. Thank you.
These two remind me that life is worth living. She reminds me of me, and he reminds me of my husband. I’m laughing so hard.
This made my MONTH. "Is this the kind of thing that goes into two holes?" "Those things should be pushed into something." And Mandy laughing at everything. Such goodness.
Learning basic Japanese was easier than IKEA assembly.... you two are geniuses for getting it done without instructions!!!!
Thanks for the morning giggle! Side note: the instructions are also available on their web site. 🌺
Love love these two, when Catherine said do these go in both holes and Mandy lost it. And then hearing the son cracking up behind the camera as well..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💖
Renewed appreciation for the job the grips do on a movie set.
Whenever I'm sitting alone with my iPad laughing, my family knows I'm watching one of your family videos! Thanks for making us laugh! Brilliant work with no directions! Seriously, brilliant!
I’m just impressed y’all can sit on the floor!
OMG! So true 😂
Yes! Or get UP from the floor.
Getting up is the really impressive part!!
We were thinking the same thing!
i was thinki g the same thing!!
So funny! The two of you are so entertaining. Who knew that watching you put together a piece of furniture from IKEA would be so comedic. Lots of love from snowy, cold Toronto, Ontario :)
Right there with you Mary; they are definitely a warm and bright spot on a dreary GTA day.
Your parents are so adorable, even just putting together something from IKEA.
These videos really make my day, it’s nice that you can find so much enjoyment out of something that’s normally so tedious
For future reference: you can find the instructions online.
I'm super impressed that you figured it out without them though!
You 2 never fail to make me smile. 💖
This family is an absolute treasure. Humor and their love of life together is envied.
I enjoyed this video! I also just wanna say I respect and enjoy Mandy Patinkins work so much!!...I listen to him everyday! 💕
How many hundreds of us laugh our way through these wonderful videos?
LMBO@ the instructions finally making an appearance. I was thinking if I was doing the assembly, I'd very likely search to see in there was an instruction video on RUclips. I've learned a lot from various instruction videos.
You two are the absolute, hands down, greatest! I wish you’d been my parents. And, that would have been quite the trick because I’m 71. ❤️
Great editing Gideon!!! I was laughing just as hard right along with you all! 😆❤️
Mandy, I've done 36 IKEA projects at home here in southern California. I have a draw full of allen wrenches. and I think someone in Sweden is in charge of new names .its easy. Just take any combination of letters and make sure they look Scandanavian before your done.
oh one more thing. My neighbors last name is Montoya.
I once helped a few friends put together over a dozen IKEA Malm beds for a start-up BNB. I'm still looking for a way to get that in on my resume. These are skills that I need to share with the world!
I just love these two people.
Truly a gift to us all! Always a laugh and shining example of a seemingly great relationship.
God, they're so relatable. :) Just love them.
You two had me in hysterics from the get go! Assembling anything from Ikea is not for the faint hearted!
Can't say it enough.. relatable, relatable, relatable! 👍🏻❤
I love these two, so much.
You guys kill me, I am crying with laughter. I am impressed that you are not hampered by no directions and that you can get on and off the floor.
The two are at it again, I am impressed that she could get up easily ..well done girl
Let us all take a moment to honor the memory of Ingvar Kamprad, who started this nightmare.
Hahaha, impressed you did so well without directions. I heard a comedy routine that states ikea es el diablo.
Oh my god! I laughed so hard here. I’ve been in exactly the same situation as you two! Cracked me up.
Kathryn and Mandy, love that you are so honest and entertaining at the same time. Bravo!
You two make my heart happy.
SO patient with each other! 💗 My husband I with our last IKEA purchase after 2 and a half hours of trying to figure things out? Not so much lol!
Those priceless moments when you get to laugh at the alternative meanings of your spouses miss-phrased questions.
You all have me just Rollin🤣🤣love watching you always!
Love these people!! Giggled my head off...
We spent an hour assembling a tv stand today, thank goodness we had the instructions, but we ache from head to toe and still have to finish tomorrow, lol! We are feeling your pain!

You two are such regular folks 💕😂
You two are just so adorable and hilarious!! lol :)

I love you so much. You bring me such joy. I sincerely mean that. God bless you both. And thank you Gideon!!💗🥰🙌
"Flockin' A" is my mantra for assembling IKEA furniture. I have more allen wrenches than a hardware store by now.
Even movie stars do IKEA. I love it.
I swear this would be like me and husband doing this only I would want to throw something at him. To funny, nice to know there are other crazy couples out there dealing with life's little struggles, you two are beautiful, and pretty damn funny love from Oregon
And, I love when Becky checks in. Ikea assembly with instructions is bad enough but I laughed when you laughed. We weren't shown the finished item. Bookcase perhaps. I hope you can return to your cabin and film your walks with Becky. I love that dog.
Instructions can also be found on the IKEA website!
THANKS! Hilarious and charming and fun...

very sweet couple. adorable!
toooooo funny giggles mandy had hahahahahah
Omg i love your family! Thank you so much for sharing!
🤣 put together with no instructions lol 👍🏻👍🏻. I’m impressed with your patience!
I retired, moved to different state, bought a new house, and then bought IKEA furnishings for guest bedrooms. . . Now that they are all assembled, I kind of miss scooting around the floor on my rear, then struggling to stand up.
It is so nice to see no one is interrupting your time with an unexpected phone call. Just watched Homeland.
Carrie could never llol

good job...i'd still be trying to put it together and then when I got it 'together' it would look like some kind of modern art installment.
So refreshing to hear someone actually Laugh when assembling Ikea furniture instead of a barrage of foul language! 😄
Love your perseverance,these do it yourself items always need a handyman!
I Kan't Even Associate... LOL! So good. 💖
You guys are just TOO great ❤
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL i love these two.
I am amazed at how unstressed you both are, my husband and I would have been screaming at each other. I remember the trouble we had putting a vegetable rack together...
Useful tip: the instructions are available to print out from the website if you lose them.
This is why you find a pile of half finished furniture on the street on trash day . I admire your patience I have a lovely rolling cart sitting in a box for 3 years you reminded me I have :)
The instructions are in the box. Also, you can find them online. You will not be able to do it without them.
Ya did it... and ya didn't kill each other. I'm impressed.
It’s so nice to be sitting here, laughing out loud.
I just love you guys😂😂😂😂😂😂
I seem to remember reading an article about IKEA some years ago .... with reference to any of their instruction manuals: the line went that IKEA is Swedish for divorce.
OMG - get Ikea to employ your parents to do assembly videos for all their products = it would be sooooo great. 💕
I’m with Mandy on this!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel you! IKEA is oh so fun! It looks so simple. Where’s the little pamphlet.
Thank goodness Becky was there to help.
I love these two, man!
Can you show it completed? Enquiring minds want to know.
They look great ..........when you finally get them together....and the instructions some how show up..🤣 (from my own experience) ..🤣🤣
Loved you in Squanto, ❤️
The IKEA mania really hit Mandy early on 🤣
This is the best video on the internet, ever!!!
Teamwork with humor!! That’s what we have kids for!
I find the fastest way to put anything like this together is to start putting it together wrong, swear loud enough to be heard - and wait for my engineer brain husband to swoop in to save the poor thingummmy from certain death.
Over thirty-one years, and my method hasn’t failed yet.
is it a cabinet for their water filters???? What is it!
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣love the video because it happened to me in the past.
Omg that was so f funny because I’ve done all that before. Still got tears in my eyes “Is this the one that goes in both holes”🤣🤣🤣😂
Can’t...stop...laughing!!!
Brightened my day...I laughed so hard...
Damn Gideon building a table this is Goldddd
Oh my God, Mand, where the hell was that?
(G was sitting on it)😂😂😂
Conhecer o Mandy é um dos sonhos da minha vida...
Só sonho msm..eu sei que nunca vai se realizar😪😪
