I’m not a contractor by any means, but I truly enjoy putting ikea or other types of furniture together. It calms me. The very first step of this annoyed me so much and I couldn’t process how to do it because I was so worried I’d mess up the very first step resulting in me having to start all over later. Thank you ❤️😂
