Self-Assembly

Do you remember those days when you could buy something finished without having to need to do any further assembly on it. I'm beginning to think that this is an experience of the past which is unlikely to be recreated in the future. We ended up having to assemble most of our furniture after we moved house and required additional and yesterday I found myself assembling the new vacuum cleaner I'd just bought. Sometimes you're lucky with the instruction sheet so it's clear as to what to do to which item but often there's information missing and then it's a case of trial and error to get the item constructed correctly and also very frustrating.
