That is one thing I hate, and am not good at. I was just working on a BBQ grill that sAid easy assembly ( yeah right) I simply don't"t have the patience for this kind of thing, plus no "knack" that mechanical people tend to have. Of course I also managed to lose a fairly critical screw .sigh! Don't care..as long as it stands up I am going to use it anyway.

I am not good at assembling things, but my husband is very good at doing it.

Most of the men I know are pretty good at assembling things and most women seem not to be. However, there are exceptions to every rule.

I would too. But yes, I am pretty good at assembling things. I may have succeeded in a minor project this morning. Wheee! I hope you find the screw. I would hate for the thing to come tumbling down right when your first steak is "perfect."

It's stressful too . I usually end up giving my projects to someone else to finish or correct.

If something doesn't come together almost instantly I am not interested

No
Especially when it says " easy to assemble"
I try, but eventually pass the task on to Yvonne who is really good at this sort of stuff.

I saw a motorbike I want to buy from China
Thing that puts me off is having to assemble it.

My son was my assembler but he is elsewhere now. Another person who put some of my stuff together has Alzheimer's now

I'm pretty good at it; but I don't have the patience to read the instructions. I like to dive right in. Not always the best solution.

Just now
The whole thing drives me batty especially when the instructions are vague.

I never tried to assemble things so I don't have idea
But looking at comments I feel it might be stressful
