    We had to put a trampoline outside my sister's window so she could see it when she woke up in the morning. One of the corners was bent enough that we needed to use a mallet. This was at 2am Christmas morning after quite a bit of eggnog and wassail. The banging woke the neighbor who came to help with his welding equipment. As far as we knew, she never woke up.

    The things they muttered during assembly really cracked us up.

    One year my parents bought me the horse-girl equivalent of a doll house. Story has it that my dad opened the box Christmas Eve and loudly declared that he couldn't put it together as the county was not open to issue the building permit.
    He and I spent the week between Christmas and New Year's assembleing it together. All eleventy-billion pie was of balsa wood.

    I feel the pain and frustration. Smart to do this before Christimas. Nothing is more exhausting than trying to figure out something like this, with a small child waiting to play (or help) ....or climbing on you while you are trying to assemble something for them, after you are already exhausted by all the other holiday things. (And yes holidays are at times exhausting, because they require a lot of energy. so saving yourself from spending "assemble energy" on the day is really really really smart 😘😘)

    One year we gave my daughter some big plastic monstrosity ( I don't even remember what it was) that said some assembly required. As my husband and I struggled to put it together, my dad remarked, more like total assembly required. The only thing you didn't have to do was pour the plastic in the molds!

    Now ... for children's toy building ... if I can't pay extra for the store to build it or if the child is too young to build it themselves .... it simply doesn't come into our home!!! Many years ago, I spent hours putting together a bmx bike - even had to put the pin stripes and decals on it only to find that upon trying to complete the final step of installing the pedals ....the holes weren't threaded!!! The entire gear and brake assembly had to taken apart in order to take back the bad part and get a new one from the store! To say the least ..... NEVER AGAIN! 🤣

    Somehow my family mostly avoided toys that needed assembly but we did have the epic Barbie jailbreak every year after we were done opening presents where my dad would get out his multi-tool pocket knife and just spend an hour unboxing Barbie dolls and commentating on all the security upgrades that had been added to the packaging since the previous year.

    @samgay9571 Před rokem +1

    Hi, I'm an engineer. 😄 Cheaper items tend to have terrible assembly experiences. They don't put the money into thinking about the user when they design the product, and they use the cheapest parts possible, rather than focusing on how you put it together. I try to never buy the cheapest option. You're usually much better off going with something in the median price range for an item.
    Of course, you have to figure in your own personal time/money value. Perhaps you like the challenge of fixing the horrible engineering decisions yourself. 😉

    I once ordered a kitchen piece of furniture. I figured I could use it in the future. It lasted quite a long time really. But…sadly we had wall rot and the thing had to get cut down…. It’s still in existence but too short…. I hat to put tiles under it…. It was pretty easy to put together and I read directions unlike you, but unlike your small print long directions, mine were larger print than that and much much much shorter. It was made of real wood and mostly out together. Guess I did good. It was expensive though.
