    How many times have you wondered where the screwdriver is?
    Good luck, you can do it, I have every confidence in you, you can conquer this challenge, just remember to read the English version of the instructions. A glass of wine couldn't hurt either.

    Just take it a bit at a time and you'll be fine. In saying that the last unit we built had the holes for the screws on the wrong side which made life rather difficult.:rolleyes:

    I have a couple bits and pieces left over ;) but seems like they were just some extras. I still have all my fingers, the thing didn't fall down after it was assembled, and I even found my screwdriver every time I lost it! (that was for toni ;) ) Whew!

    Beautiful but I wouldn't have the patience ;) or skill or know-how. Everything I get has to be already put together ;)
