I saw this in a blog earlier today.
"I often resist purchasing items that require assembly. Which is why, if you ever visit my apartment, you’ll find little organized piles of my belongings in various huddles on the floor. I have been avoiding purchasing such necessities as a table, chairs, shelving, book shelves, desk equipment, etc. because I simply cannot deal with that many set of instructions in one sitting.
The only memory I have of assembling anything in my childhood is the Christmas I got the three-story Barbie house. More so, I remember my father’s face as he opened the box to about 1,000 pieces. Playing, I never thought back to how all the pieces came together. The kitchen kettle whistled, the elevator ran up and down, and it looked like the house on the picture from the packaging.
But then again, do we ever realize the assembly that goes into the life we play in? I think my main problem with things that need to be assembled is that when I purchase them, I know I will need to build them. It’s like a barrier. A taunt. Whenever I enter IKEA and I see the warehouse of potential furniture, all those boxes say to me is, “Look at what I am… if you’ve got some screws, some tools, 10 hours, and some spare frustration.”
If you have something that needs some assembly but would rather have me deal with it message me right away. I don't want any mad and frustrated people out there. Hope everyone has a great day!
