My new desk arrived this morning in 2 boxes. I heard the sound of a handtruck banging up the stairs and I looked out my peephole in the door and saw the FedEx guy coming up to the door. I opened it and said hello to him. He looked at me, exhausted and grinning, and said “Don’t you hello me!”. One box weighed 84 lbs and the other 87 lbs and he had to bring them up to the second floor. He was very nice and brought them inside and I tried to give him a tip for all his hard work. He refused it saying it was his job.
I got the boxes opened and took out all of the pieces and got to work putting it together. There are 27 steps to follow. I got as far as step 17 and had to stop. The instructions say to “carefully turn desk over to the front (it’s on it’s back now). It’s very heavy so I have to wait until hubby gets home and can help me turn it over. Meanwhile I’ll but the drawers together so they will be ready to put in when the desk is finished.
JoJo checking out all the parts.
Just started putting the pieces together.
This is where I had to stop.
Another picture of what I finished. This is the hutch part.
