This qualifies as oddity of the day. Unlike what some believe, IKEA manuals are not like this. I happen to have that exact table so I know.
Rather, the ones I have gotten in the last couple of years are completely devoid of people. Unless you count that hideously disfigured lumpy thing at the beginning that seems confused and wants a screwdriver and for you to call IKEA and ask them how to use it.

The obvious solution is also not to have people in there at all. Why would you want to. It’s just confusing.
