Problem
: complicated furniture assembly at home
3 common problems when assembling furniture
First, mixing up parts. Mixing up parts can lead to confusion, as the small components are often difficult to distinguish.
Second, time commitment. The time required for assembly can be substantial, particularly when unpacking materials and navigating instructions.
Lastly, quality. Ready-to-assemble furniture are not often made from durable materials and don't last more than a few years.
