We have two assembled and have stopped for lunch. We didn't get going as early as we should have. And the cabinets are relatively easy. The mirrored doors might be another story.

We're taking a few photos as we go. We have two assembled but haven't put the mirrored doors on yet. I'm thinking they might be a bit tricky.

We won't finish them today but hopefully we might get them done by tomorrow evening. They have glass doors which look pretty tricky.

We have two of five units assembled but so far it's just the easy bits. I think the glass doors might try us out.

When we arrived here in NZ last month, my daughter also ordered online a DIY cabinet which my son-in-law assembled. Unfortunately, there was once piece of the "puzzle" that was missing and there was an extra piece of another part thus we could not assemble completely the alt drawer. My daughter emailed to seller and the missing part arrived in a few days. My wife and I used the cabinet for our clothes. We'll be flying home tomorrow and we hope the weather would be fine and that there will be no delay in our flight to Hongkong as there is only an hour and 15 minutes gap between our arrival and departure there.

No, these are going in our main bedroom. We took out the ones we made when we first built the house and I think these will be a big improvement. Here is a 'before' photo.

We thoguht we were missing the very basic bits that we needed to even make a start on it but then we found another little box of tricks at the very bottom of a long package. Two units up and three to go but then we have to tackle the mirrored doors. That might be waiting till tomorrow.

I hate jobs like that but at least it will be very satisfying to look at once it's done. Will there be much DIY involved or is it just a case of slotting them in? Actually looking at that picture it looks like a lot of work!

I think we've both become more patient with each other as we've gone along. And being older it seems to take the two of us to think of all the angles and puzzle out instructions etc.

We read and reread the instructions and the first one went together well then we got a bit over-confident and made a couple of mistakes but were able to correct them quite easily. So we went back to being super-careful again.
