Fans and critics alike have found IKEA a rich source of potential parody, from its offbeat furniture-naming system to the strangely stylized instruction manuals that come with each unit.

But at the end of the day, do not give out how – there are better ways out that constructing your own IKEA guillotine or coffin, and finding yourself resting six feet under a deadly home DIY project.
