One thing that significantly improved my IKEA-assembly skills:<p>For its cross-head screws, IKEA generally uses Pozidriv rather than Phillips screws.  They&#x27;re subtly different - but if you use a Phillips driver on a Pozidriv screw (or vice versa) you tend to wreck the screw head.  Use the IKEA-sold screwdriver (or get a better Pozidriv set).
