Gah!

I'm trying to put together a new TV console I bought today.  I am losing my mind.  There really are no directions.  And the print is so small, I cannot tell which side is which.  Some sides have smooth sides and some have grooves.  How can I tell if I'm putting them together correctly?  Who knows?

I'm stumped

Well, it's really obvious! You...uhm...

*turns monitor sideways*

I love the picture showing which direction you turn the screwdriver. Is there a photo of the finished product you can use as a reference?? I'll send Rodney over to give you a hand. And John to heckle him into working faster.

Well, I've torn it up twice and need to flip another piece now. If they had just SAID which side is up in the first place.... This piece I need to turn around has the same holes on each side, except one side has two that are wider between them. I've also cut my thumb and am getting a callus on the pad of my hand.
I need a drink

I've put together one IKEA bookshelf and yeah, it was harder than it looked. It's lasted me years but at the time I was ready to throw it out the window.

Enjoy that drink! Hope you finally got it working. (((hugs)))

I generally suck at these things but the last two items I bought which required assembly were relatively strait forward.

Good luck with yours! :)
