What I SHOULD have done, of course, was to google bookcase easiest to assemble BEFORE ordering a bookcase from Amazon. The easy 20-minute assembly process I finally finished today was brutally difficult, days long, and familiar. And if I hadn't had the hammer and screwdrivers I bought because a recent conversation with my brother reminded me that I really needed some tools already -- it would have been impossible. The moral of the story is, I still need more bookcases, and I'll research which ones are for us non-home-improvement types before I order.
I didn't assemble this one perfectly over the past several days. I'd assembled enough bookcases more or less exactly like this one
to know that I wasn't going to assemble this one perfectly. But I may have come closer to actually following all of the instructions correctly this time than ever before.
Strangely enough, though, I hadn't assembled enough of them to realize that I should never, ever put myself through it again. For some reason, it took one more. Well, learning takes what it takes. Maybe that's why they call it learning. Hmm.
