Since inventorying the parts took over an hour, we had a feeling assembling the island would take us quite some time.
We read the instructions several times out loud at each step, because 1) our minds tended to wander during the run-on sentences; 2) we had to check to make sure we were using just the right hardware; and 3) we had to match the parts with the pictures and the words.
Assembling the front and back frames were easy compared with what was to come.
The famous inter-locking mechanism that took an entire extra page to explain. I forget the name of it at the moment. But we became experts in using them. (I might even add that particular skill to my resume - if I can remember the name.)
Here is Ronak attaching the hardware, so we can slide the yet-to-be-assembled drawers in. 5 of them!
Looks pretty good, doesn't it? And then we looked at the next step in the directions.
Uh-oh! We DID need those holes after all.....thankfully we own a drill.
