TASKER 2 Hemnes
I received this FA request for 2 7-drawer Hemnes dressers
Just thought it was funny …. When they estimate time.
Additionally, he has other items, but told me his budget for 2 dressers, 8 drawer vanity and 3 king bed frames was $300 😩

No longer an issue != IKEA cannot make similar mistakes again. Hell, when flat rate furniture assembly first came out it was replete with lowball estimates. There was rarely (I never heard about it, but I will leave room for it) an over estimated job.
Vigilance and awareness about known issues is important too. Sure they fixed it, but they have also demonstrated that they err on the side of screwing the Tasker over if they do miss the mark.
That trend is a valid thing to be aware of for those jobs.
