Time Consuming:

 It takes time to put things together. This cabin used to be a rental and the furniture is all very large and well used. Carol's dresser was pretty worn out but sturdy and solid - but it took up an entire wall. The large bulky furniture made the rooms smaller and we replaced the bed and now the dresser. It has opened the room up so we can move around with more freedom without tripping over items. 

The only problem is this came with assembly required. It took five solid hours to put the many pieces together. The FedEx woman who brought it had to brace herself to just unload it. I was standing there and watched her set her jaw, take two deep breaths before she was able to get it up. I didn't want her to hurt herself so I had he leave it right where it was and told he we would unpack it and take it into the house pieces at a time. She didn't hesitate at that offer and put it down after a few feet. 

We loaded it on the cart and took it to the door and then put the pieces in Carol's bedroom. The next day we took 5 hours to assemble it and managed not to  yell or cuss once. It was made in China and they only missed a few holes but they were on the braces for the drawers that we were able to work around. Every thing else as very good and lined up as it should. 

Little by little we are making this place homey...
