Today on This Old House

 Today I am finally tackling the giant box in the living room which will eventually become a dresser.  In the twenty page (!!!) instruction book, under the section where they specify tools needed:  both kinds of screwdrivers.  What they left out:  maybe an engineering degree.  Or like a carpenters' union card? 
I opened the box and after the completely terrifying instructions (ps, throw in a magnifying glass for the diagrams), I found this delightful sight.

ICYMI, I am the kind of girl who wants to cry every time she walks into a Home Depot.  I mean, it's one piece of medium sized furniture - how can there be so many pieces of hardware that they almost ran out of letters?  There are only 3 drawers, and the slides are already on them.  So why are there 8000 screws and bolts?  Ugh. 
For future reference, if you buy a dresser like this, bring a friend.  My wrist was in very bad shape by the time I finished.  Also it's smaller than I wanted.  Yes, I measured, but obviously I have issues with spatial visualization.  At least it's (mostly) done.
