    Aside from my love of assembling things...

    I'd want to put something together myself because I'm a control freak and don't trust anyone else to do it "right."

      My store now offers assembly for an extra fee of...either $10 or $25. I'm not sure if any customers have taken them up on that.

        I've had people offer me $10-25 to put something together for them, actually. I mean, I'm sure I could figure it out (I got the cabinets I bought my fiance for his birthday together by myself), but it's hard not to laugh sometimes. The only things in our store that come pre-assembled are some of the bikes, though I think any bike can be assembled if you're willing to put in a repair ticket for it and wait 2-5 days for our vendor to come around. Anything else, and you're on your own.
        It's little things that make the difference between 'enjoyable', 'tolerable', and 'gimme a spoon, I'm digging an escape tunnel'.

          The only thing I ever bought that was on diplay was a receiver for a surround sound system. When I bought it, I first bought one still in the box. When I got it home & set it up, the left side channels were fried. So I brought it back to the store I bought it at. I told the owner what was wrong, he set it up & heard for himself what was wrong. The only one he had left was on display, plus he knocked off $100 from it for my troubles. Needless to say I bought the rest of my stereo components from that store. In the end my stereo system cost $2500 to buy. I bought the surround speakers & the subwoofer, plus a DVD player. I payed it off in installments. 2 weeks after I finished paying off he went out of business because so-called friends of his took advantage of him & he trusted them to pay off their stuff.

            Some people have difficulty putting Tab A into Slot B - believe it or not.
            My father in law is like that. He said it took him and a friend two days to put together a wooden two drawer file cabinet. Meanwhile, in less than I day I built my bookshelves. Eight kits, using plywood for the backer, bolted to each other and the wall.
