I am the opposite - I find it very relaxing to assemble Ikea products - IF everyone leaves me alone and I have enough space to work. It's a good thing that I do enjoy this kind of work, because my wife likes to buy Ikea flat-pack furniture as much as I like to assemble it.
However - disassembly under less-than-ideal circumstances is another thing altogether. Once we bought a great big double-wardrobe closet with bifold louver doors. It was the last one - fully assembled floor model. I could have it cheap if I disassembled it and moved it out RIGHT NOW! The saleswoman loaned me a screw-driver... man that thing was big and complex; and everyone in the shop (sales staff, my wife, other shoppers, etc) had "advice" for me.... and there were no instructions... and I had NO BEER! And when I was finished with disassembly I could carry it all down 3 floors to my sub-compact car, cram it in, take it home, carry it up to the 2nd floor and reassemble it (with no assembly instructions) in a tiny and crowded bedroom. At least I had some beer in the 'fridge!
