Revainrating 1 out of 5

Welcome to editing hell!

So you've decided to take a break from work, mastered the art of patience and bought this Rubik's Cube out of a can. The game goes on! You gather your tools and you are ready. But nothing will prepare you for this assembly nightmare. Remember that slot A never slides into slot B no matter where you are in the guide. You'll find yourself tapping, hitting, praying, and cursing these pieces to put them together the way the instructions tell you, but it will take sheer willpower to get them to go together and stay together. Now that you've finally set everything up and driven around the neighborhood to calm your nerves, you're back to work. Once again you're trying to figure out what black magic is making part A slide and match up with part B until you summon more of that willpower and line it up when you grab the first screw. Doesn't fit, after these morning antics and instructive novels one is not so surprised. Then you read that the screws you're going to drive into the metal are purposely larger than the hole. You come to the realization that the cordless drill you are using just isn't enough, it's time to get an electric drill. Once you find the right bit for the drill say a little prayer and start inserting the screws, yes the instructions are correct, the screws are larger than the holes you intend to insert them in. So, after a few hours with your drill connected to a flux capacitor, screw in the screws for pure power. Time for another drive through the neighborhood. Dawn is upon us, all you have to do is gather the final details. wait, right? The terrain is so narrow that you can only make a quarter turn with a wrench, it will take the rest of the day to finish. You laugh hysterically but decide to take the time to tighten the last four screws. You mustn't give up now! You are finally done, the storage box you thought you would need is now complete. You pack your tools, say goodbye to the sun because the day is over, and head inside. Find the keys, go again. First AGAIN through the neighborhood and then to the gas station to fill up because you are sitting on an empty one. You never realized your nerves needed so much gas. Would I buy this again? NO! It took me a full ten minutes to assemble the last box we had and guys this is a box it shouldn't be that complicated. If you don't have the patience of a saint, I would move on to your next option. PS - In the list of tools, the instructions forgot to mention band-aids, you will need them too. I dug a screwdriver into my thumb and tried to drive in these easy to install screws.
