Jan. 26 (UPI) -- A financial advice website is seeking a couple willing to test the strength of their bond by assembling IKEA furniture together for $1,000.
FinanceBuzz said it is searching for an "IKEA DIY Duo" who would be given $1,000 in IKEA store credit to purchase a bedroom set.
The couple would then be asked to assemble the furniture together and document the experience.
"FinanceBuzz is looking for a couple willing to put their relationship to the test this Valentine's season by building an entire IKEA bedroom set together and documenting the experience," the site said. "Just you and your significant other, a wordless instruction manual and a hex key."
The winning couple will be awarded $1,000 for completing the task.
Applications are being accepted on the website through Feb. 14.
In song that said it all ... “And the Beat Goes On”
In here ... “and the scams keep on coming.”
As long as she goes an builds me a sandwich we have this thing handled.
When his body was found, it was covered in two inch deep hexagonal punctures. His wife was incoherently screaming Swedish sounding words.
I’d want my own tools, not the crap hex key that comes with the kits.
I put together about 20 LF of Ikea base and top cabinets about a dozen years ago. It wasn’t hard.
Putting IKEA stuff together is not difficult. If you glue up the dowel joints as you are building, it will last basically forever.
They dispensed with the crappy psuedo-english instructions for easy-to-follow pictorial ones decades ago.
“I put together about 20 LF of Ikea base and top cabinets about a dozen years ago. It wasn’t hard.”
I remodeled my kitchen with IKEA stuff in 2007. You could not come up with a better system for DIYers. I have really enjoyed the results.

It might be a new spin on building a "murder room".
Gee, could the author have been any more repetitive? How much money again? Didn’t catch it the first ten times. What store? Looking for a single person or a couple? Please elaborate with maybe a dozen more paragraphs.
That’s a bad has asking a couple to hang wallpaper together - get the divorce lawyers on standby.
I know about 5 women that this would be very easy for them.
Oh and no they don’t look like Helen Thomas.
We may look into this. The First Mate is very tool talented and almost never skips a chance to cruise the Tool Section at Home Depot. In college she worked part time repairing mechanical cash registers for NCR and still has her repair kit. Spring hooks, about a dozen screw-drivers, a micrometer, punches, all sorts of tools. The few IKEA pieces we have around here were all assembled in well under the recommended time per the instructions.
I wonder what I can do with my half ...
LOL! That is funny, I’m going to steal it.
Never heard of IKEA so that was annoying. I guess it is a store of something.
They are a furniture kit manufacturer that you assemble your self. Swedish, IIRC.............................
My wife loves to put together IKEA furniture. Although it has been awhile, they came with decent instructions.
She bought a night table from somewhere else online and was excited to put it together, but all it had was the drawings. She piled the parts back in a pile and told me to put it back in the box and return it! “They don’t even have instructions!”
I figured it would be easier to put it together than try to fit it back in the box and ship it back. It was like a puzzle with 10 pieces, and they told you where the pieces went. Simple.
