@ mandain - 15.06.16 - 03:37am Metric, imperial is outdated If you want to know why all your IKEA flat packs are so wobbly, it's because they were made using the metric system. Sometimes you just have to use the imperial system if you want quality.  I am mainly referring to using fractions when it comes to wood products. Wood has imperfections that don't tolerate the metric system so well. But created wood materials like MDF does tolerate the metric system very well. |

Kinda both, but accurately i use metric. Especially with small stuff. Imperial is more of a casual thing, especially with big stuff. The two are intertwined anyway. I mean look at car tyres - 185/55-14 tyres are 185mm wide and fit a 14in wheel.. |

You either measure something properly (using either system) or you don't. It's not like the wood knows what system it's being measured in. |

If you want your flat pack furniture less wobbly apply some wood glue In between, any furniture will be wobbly after time if you rely on screws only
