Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After 2.5hrs of 4 very capable and sober adults breaking up into teams to put this together....It turned out looking adorable. But the route to get there was annoying as hell. One reason it took so long was on our fruitless search for the "Q" labeled screws. The instructions called for them, but they were no where to be found. We looked and looked, and tore through every scrap of the box, and ultimately we went to our toolbench and found similar screws and applied washers, and it made a good replacement. That took one of the two teams on a 45 minute diversion. However, when it was finally assembled we strangely had two "R" screws leftover! You guessed it, the instructions are so poorly written an edited that what the book call Q screws, the nut/bolt package called R screws. See the picture I uploaded. Then there were the consistent diagrams that weren't to scale, or that left out images of holes/edges which are needed by the assembler to figure out which end is up when inserting screws. Lastly, it was the "more is better" concept of screws. There were dozens of different shapes and sizes of screws, and hundreds of pieces. If you've ever assembled IKEA, well this made IKEA look simple, and honestly IKEA is simple compared to this. IKEA has figured out a way to use 1 assembling piece for every 4 or 6 that this package contained. At 2:30am on Dec 23rd however, it looked adorable by the time we were finished, but it warned me off this brand of kids products to buy in the future. There is just no forethought put into the assembly process or instructions itself, and I'd rather reward a company who puts more effort in this area. The finished picture includes an extra foam-core backsplash that I attached with some multi-heart colored contact paper. Hopefully some of the toys won't fall behind and get stuck with a backsplash added. Neither the accessories nor the foam-core backsplash come with this kitchen; you are just purchasing the white kitchen
