Assembling Furniture
Armand: Did you know that this nightstand required assembly when you bought it?
Suzanne: The box said that it required simple assembly. I guess what’s simple to them isn’t simple to us.
Armand: You can say that again. These instructions aren’t in English, there are no diagrams showing how the parts fit together, and we seem to be missing parts. I also question the quality. It’s mainly made of particleboard and plywood. Do you think we should return it?
Suzanne: No, let’s just keep it and do the best we can.
Armand: That’s hard to do when there seems to be a design flaw with the drawers. The pieces don’t fit together as they should. These nails are also bent 1 and these screws look defective 2.
Suzanne: It’s not looking good, is it? I also bought this because I thought everything could be assembled using Allen wrenches 3, but it looks like we’ll actually need a hammer, screwdriver 4, and maybe a drill.
Armand: Well, let’s see what we can do. If we don’t have the right tools or parts, I have a solution.
Suzanne: What?
Armand: Duct tape.
