I enjoy assembling furniture when it's written out in English... sometimes I get just paperwork with pictures from the IKEA store so it can make for an interesting evening attempting to put together their furniture.

It depends on the furniture. I'll usually have my brother-in-law do it, lol.

Unfortunately, no I am not. I pride myself on being a do-it-yourself person, however. Once I have more time to do so, I may actually try to learn a new skill, including assembling furniture. I love to save money wherever I can, so if I can do it myself, even better.

Nope, not very good at assembling stuff.  I'll pay someone to do it for me or already buy it assembled.  ;)

I love the thank you cake sent facebook to the Ikea salesman.   It is a picture with flour, milk, eggs butter salt etc saying some assembly required!

I'm okay with it as long as there are relevant directions which make sense, all the pieces/parts are in the box, and it is a relatively simply project to begin with.  If the project looks like it is going to take more than 20-25 minutes, I just don't have the patience or possibly the ability.

I don't know if I am good at it but I have done it a few times. Sometimes it goes well and sometimes not as well.

Yes, I like doing that kind of thing tool. It makes you feel great at the end when the whole thing is put together and you know you did a good job.

I don't really care for it.  If it's simple, I will tackle it.  Otherwise, I try to have the store assemble for me or have my husband do it!  Thank goodness that I have him!

No, not at all assembling furniture or anything else! even when I read the instructions; can't seem to get it right. I generally leave it to others for that task.
