Assembling a moderately large piece of furniture from a kit with more than 200 parts (plus hardware *sigh*). I’d almost rather just build one. The “instructions” are primitive pictograms that aren’t anywhwere NEAR “Ikea level” pictograms, and include parts that are not in any way needed for the piece and pics that. . . no, that canNOT fit that way!
Once I figured out the particular perceptual defects the creator of the instructions was laboring under (“No, your OTHER right!”) things began moving more smoothly, as I could more easily discern which pictograms to ignore, flip, laugh at, or whatever.
It does help to use things like a power drill that allows at least rough torque settings. The wood glue provided with the kit was trash, but that was all right, too.
Chinese, of course, but well-made parts. Instructions, though? Almost total crap.
