It will take longer than you think to assemble.
Way, way longer than you think. Way, way longer.
You will be peering in bewilderment at the instructions and scrabbling through innumerable plastic bags (which when opened, will scatter their tiny cargo everywhere) trying to find the exact teeny tiny piece you need, and sticking tiny little stickers, with a hand that is shaking from the effort, for ages.
Don't even think of trying to do it on Christmas day with the eager recipient bouncing around you.
Don't do it while drunk. It will take even longer.
Be aware that if you try to do it with someone else's help (ie your DH) you will probably end up not speaking to one another.
So do it now! Find a quiet three hours hour, put on some relaxing music, and do it now.
You will thank me later
