Do Not Buy "Ready To Assemble" Furniture, EVER, NEVER !!

You want to have a good laugh, or a total brain melt down, try reading the instructions for a CNC milling Machine.
They are written in Japanese and then translated by a Japanese speaker who can write English, so they use Japanese structure and don't always get the right word. What they should do is have the translation done by an English speaker who can read Japanese.

Or try to figure out the alarm codes. The book has 'em all. Except the one you get.   Bill T.

Year ago I worked at toy'r'us over the xmas season.  I basicly put every thing toegther.  There was this one play set that had they pastic pins that would not come out after you put them in.  the 1st page of the instructions said.

"thank you for buying......"

page 2 was

"now that you have attempted to assymble the play house and failed, thank you for reading the instructions."

The worst thing are the damn hand drawn diagrams. You would think for the price, along with the fact we now live in the digital age, they could at least include detailed actual photographs, instead of drawings that look like they were hand drawn by a third grader 20 minutes after receiving a shot of Demerol.   Bill T.

Kathy bought an entertainment center like that when we got the new flat screen.  (I wanted to just hang it on the damn wall and be done with it, but noooooooooooooo)

It took 4 hours, 5 beers and 3 bloody knuckles to get that thing together, at which point she said, "Now that I see it together I'm not sure I like it." 

I placed my hands gently on her shoulders, looked lovingly into her eyes, and replied, "Too f***ing bad!!"

I don't remember anything after that.
