The Frustrations and Pitfalls of Building a Microwave Cart

  • Posted on February 12, 2013 at 7:15 am

You have just gotten home from the store. You unload the back and bring in the new piece of furniture you are excited to put up in your home. You frantically cut open the box with your keys in all the wrong places and pull out each individual piece to the structure. As you start to assemble the piece, you notice that it isn’t coming together like you imagined. You take it apart and try to put it together again. Finally, with your pride completely diminished, you decide to look at the instructions only to find out they are as complicated as your high school physics textbook. Does this scenario sound familiar to anyone? I know for me it has happened way too many times.

When my husband and I first moved in together, we bought some things to help us organize our new home. One of our favorites was the microwave stand/cart we got from EMicrowaveCart. We eagerly began setting up our new purchases, usually way too late at night to function properly, and only found ourselves becoming more and more frustrated. This happened with an infamous microwave cart we had planned to keep in our kitchen to save us some counter and storage space. Before we knew it, the cart had been taken apart four times. Each metal rod wouldn’t go into the right spot without others coming undone, the top wouldn’t stay in place, and when you put anything on top of it, it crumbled to the ground. After four hours and many stupid ideas how to put the thing together, we ended up falling asleep on the kitchen floor, with the microwave cart remaining all over the floor.

Although it is easy to say, “just follow the instructions” when putting together furniture or other things, it can be way more complicated than that. There are some tips to putting together the most complicated household items located online you can find with a quick search. I think the best piece of advice I can giving anyone, including my husband, when they are frustrated putting something together is just to take a breath and relax. If you don’t get the microwave cart together is the world going to end?

Maybe. However, if the odds end up in your favor and the world still remains without your microwave cart in one piece, it probably isn’t worth the frustration. So next time you want to rip out all your hair when that new desk you are trying to put together isn’t going as planned, take a step back and remember the world isn’t going to end because of it.
