Building IKEA furniture can be a headache-inducing experience for many, but some people seem to struggle a bit more than others.

The study found that New Hampshire and Maine are nearly tied for second place on the list, as both states saw just over 45% of IKEA tweets showing signs of a stressful experience.

Despite not actually having an IKEA store anywhere in the state, Mississippians apparently struggle the most with building furniture, as 48.5% of their tweets showed signs of "IKEA rage," the highest in the U.S. 

The United States as a whole actually ranks fairly low compared to the rest of the world, while Iceland sits at the top of the global list.
