IKEA furniture is not "hard" to assemble per say. It's annoying and frustrating because the qc on hole alignment and how well they tap the holes is lacking. Coupled with cheap veneered particle board lowering the overall build quality.

I am pretty handy and have a ton of nice tools and have worked with my hands building things for a living for about 6 years or so and a software developer otherwise.

I actually just had to "fix" a crappy ikea chest of drawers because the particle board popped out of the dado in the rear piece so the drawer would rub on the next drawer down. Some cheap brackets were installed as a temp fix but a real fix would be to install a better bottom board that flexes less and to glue it in place rigidly.

Agreed about the build quality. Something to consider about assembly is also the circumstances of the installation. Was talking with a person recently who together with an engineer assembled one of the Pax systems with the large sliding rail doors in a space that had literally about a half an inch gap between the top and the ceiling. Because of this it ended up mostly being assembled upright, not to mention the task of affixing the upper clips in the narrow space at the top to hold the slider for the rather hefty dual doors. So at times there can more factors involved with the frustration than something like the instructions themselves.

I usually put an angle bracket (?) at the back of the drawer where it usually gets loose. Screw it in with bolts from back and bottom to keep them together.
