This is amazing

It's incredible. Please, Ikea, hire this guy and generate animated/interactive websites for all of your stuff.

Hire... why, it's AI. They can do it themselves.

They could have done it themselves before AI.

It would help if it didn't provide incorrect instructions lol.

I might have been one of the first people to recognize the possibility of using a LACK table as an equipment rack. I built a DVD player into one in like 2003, recognizing that a whole stack of 19" pro audio gear could be bolted in there.

Built one in 2001, there were lots of discussions about it on I think it was the Audiogon forums at the time, a whole thread of a good few hundred people building them. I seem to recall a few had been using them since the 90s as well.

Folks were doing this in the late 90s on AVSForum..

There are a lot of issues, the bigger one is the fact that the drwan line is not on the self level as the shelf.

this is a great idea and i imagine that somebody could generate the entirety of their catalog. it's tempting. would be nice if ikea paid for this service but it's doubtful!

karansuthar | 4 hours ago

really nice. how did you make the models, by hand from the pdf instructions? ikea already has 3d models for a lot of products on their site for the ar view, would be cool if those could be pulled in so it works for any product

I thought I read somewhere that their entire catalog is rendered and they generally don't do photography at all anymore.

I hate to speak ill of this nice page, but the cams are on the wrong side of the two bottom shelves. They are clearly displayed in the included manual pages on the left side of the viewport.

Built almost the same idea almost a month back. Never posted it

Not to piss on your chips, but the OP version is much more engaging. I think we are going to see taste, steering and preferences become a much more important thing.

Really enjoying all these animation by Ryan Sael. I spent a good part of an hour exploring https://sael.net/river-bend/

The idea is awesome but for fucks sake it would have been half an hour at most to replace the slop copytext.

It instructs you to build the shelf wrong. The camlocks go on the bottom of the shelf.

reactordev | 2 hours ago

Indeed, step 3 has the shelve boards in backwards.

mikeaskew4 | 2 hours ago

Does it make it less complicated?

ilovecake1984 | an hour ago

Absolutely not.

The actual paper instructions are super clear and don’t have all the junk distracting extras.

The art of communication is simplicity.

dag11 | 2 hours ago

It's really interesting despite others pointing out that it's a little wrong, that can be fixed.

But I also almost left immediately because this claudism at the top really hurt to read:

> Every dowel, cam lock and nail where the page puts it.

I always feel so manipulated when I read it regurgitating the prompt you gave it in such an advertisey way, like it's trying to assure you it met _every_ word of the prompt, regardless of how it actually did.

Solution looking for a problem.

Great, now do the HASVIK sliding doors mount on a PAX, please. Joke aside, however good a manual is, reality is imperfect. Assembly often requires a bit of improvisation that can't be learned online.

Are there plans to make guides for other pieces of furniture as well?

I see Claude is single-handedly bringing back the early-2000's epic "over-bloom" lighting

LordHeini | an hour ago

The Lack table is probanly the esayest piece of Ikea furniture to build. But Claude or whatever llm seems to assume that you can screw the screws in fully by hand. But you just put them in a little and use the leg for the rest. As clearly shown in the instructions.

aqfamnzc | an hour ago

What is the name of this website style that Claude et al loves to build so much? The light text on dark blue background, pill-shapes everywhere, pulsing indicators, etc.?

I've personally been calling it "bad"

amelius | 55 minutes ago

If you're going to produce slop then at least show us the prompts.

AI can't make visualization that work in different browsers yet.

Hard to find an easier thing to build...
