Assemble it yourself

I got an assemble it yourself kid bunk bed.  It is this one: http://www.braultetmartineau.com/ProductDisplay?urlRequestType=Base&catalogId=10051&categoryId=11624&productId=34089&errorViewName=ProductDisplayErrorView&urlLangId=-1&langId=-1&top_category=11619&parent_category_rn=11622&storeId=10151
To assemble the bed is quite an adventure.  Creativity must be used.  The instruction is quite pictural: two sheets where the components are shown.  The instruction itself have a lot of picture.  A lot of picures and a lot of guessing.  It is not always easy to distinguish the various pieces when they pretty much all look alike at first sight.  With some brain cells and figuring things up, it get assembled.

In hobbies, there is this trends to assemble it yourself.  I have to admit that I had fallen into this in the past.  I am not imune to fall into it again.  It does have it's merits when learning a new technique or getting new ideas for future projects.  On the other side, beyond the beginner level, it is can be useless.  When I tried a technique and feel confortable with it, I am ready for some challenge.
