Furniture Assembly

About a week ago, I ordered a plant table online.  Yesterday, the table arrived in the form of a long, narrow box.  Desiree and I immediately assembled the table and, I must say, the assembly developed into a most unusual experience.

First, the box of unassembled pieces arrived tattered and worn from shipping.  The cardboard appeared to have been taped back together after coming apart.  Even with that, the pieces inside were in perfect condition and none appeared to be missing.

After sorting the pieces, Desiree read through the assembly instructions, which were both clear and concise.   After fetching a screwdriver, I joined Desiree on the carpet so we could fasten the table together using the various screws and hardware provided.

Amazingly, the table pieced together effortlessly, leaving us with extra screws and hardware after we finished.  And, in the weirdest twist, the table turned out both sturdy and handsome.
