I actually like putting the flat packs together. It's like Lego for adults.

Sue me.

They don’t use text in the instructions, just pictures. This lets them print the same instructions book for all the hundred countries they sell in. But it can make assembly just a little bit more tricky. This is the only even moderately challenging part, but like you say it’s usually fun.

Have you tried putting furniture with written instructions together? IKEA is a million times easier because they show you right in the pictures what you gotta do, instead of trying to explain it in words.

Yeah, you’re right about that. Pictures are good. It would just be helpful if you had the ability to use text with the pictures sometimes. They have to not do that.
