Only a degree
So I though I was ready until I opened the box that read the directions.theb realized I needed a degree in mechanical engineering. So I enrolled in my nearest institute of higher learning. Called Massachusetts Instatute of technology, nothing to renound or anything just to give me the base level of knowledge to aselsemble a desk. I went though 4 years of grueling work studying metallurgy and engendering stresses. The. Re approached this desk. Looked at the directions and though ok I am good enough and set off unpacking everything. I played it out and compared each piece of high quality aluminium tubing and wrapped particle board agenst the kinsgergarden pictures provided by the all knowing manufacturer to find that every piece was there. Step one was easy put on the feet me beeing smart could Ted how many thread each foot got to ensure a level desk. The. Step two and three seemed quite similar the sheving unit needed a long piece of the extruded aluminum. So I did step two making sure to onle use the specified pieces. Then step three showed that it needed the holes of the other almost identical extruded aluminum to be facing towards the back. Sweating a little I assembled it in this way. Then followed the rest of the step. And just as I thought I was to blame victory for the name of engeneers everywhere. I met my foe. A single angle bracket that pointed out to me ha! With a realization that the directions did not show that these crucial brackets were needed for added stability but failed to mention that the "identical" pieces were not identical. Fine I though this will be a simple disassembly after I go wand watch actor Keanu Reeves kick some ass in his latests action flick. Rejuvinated I cracked my knuckles and took out my Stnaley ratcheting screwdriver because the supplied one has worn my delicate hands to bleeding due to a bad casting on the injection molded handle. I set off once again disappointed but with determination to get this table correct. Fast foward and hour and 1/2 and sweat was pouring down my forehead but I stood there around of my masterpiece my desk. Anyways I though time to hook up the computer and start designing the auto pilot for the 737 max I think I light that indicates something obscure should do the trick.................
