Ever get that sinking feeling? The you just opened a piece of cheap furniture and you see a bag of hardware big enough to sink a canoe and an instruction *packet* instead of the hoped for single sheet with 5 simple steps to voilá! and instant coolness?

That's what's on my plate this afternoon. A dining room table and 8 chairs that somehow were packaged small enough to fit inside a VW golf. ::siiiigh::
