Oh goodness, what an ordeal that was to put together, I had to take part of it apart to add in the piece I missed the first time..haha! Always nice to get them done though.

Like yourself, I can be quite frustrated by the process. Glad you and the bookcase survived.Beatrice P.

Where was his construction cat hard hat? I'm glad that you found the cam bolt so you could finish the bookcase. It looks nice and will be great for books and/or decorative items.<br /><br />I think they are fibbing about the one person finishing the bookshelf in 1 hour. Maybe they timed an Amish professional woodworker and furniture maker. Any shelves and items that are made with that chip wood and glue with wood veneer glued on are so ungodly heavy for each piece, it is like you are suddenly working on another planet where the gravity makes everything 10 times heavier, including one's own body when one tries to stand up again.<br /><br />I am glad you (and Bosco) got 'er done.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-17685201057155402282021-03-06T21:19:19.079-06:002021-03-06T21:19:19.079-06:00What an ordeal!
