As Bridget Jones would say "I'm V. Happy"!
v cool!!
TrekDesk arrived at about 5pm yesterday evening...UPS guy came by stealth. I actually figured out that the massive box was on my porch by checking Amazon's "Where's my crap?" link!
I was so excited I told the kids to feed themselves so I could assemble my new toy. Opened box, unloaded all the many parts. Started the timer...5:37
v sad!!
Instructions for the TrekDesk assembly included Step 1, Step 2 (then Step 1 and 2 again) and lastly Step 10. I thought, "hey - I'm a smart gal. I'll just pretend like I'm a guy and put it together without instructions."
v. v. sad!
Quickly figure out that not only did I get the shaft on instructions (which thanks to Facebook, I got via email from the dude monitoring FB at TrekDesk, but one of my upper support bars was oddly sized and wouldn't fit into any bracket. It was only off by just enough to make it impossible to fit.
Called 1-800-complain and talked to v. nice gentleman who suggested I try ice and WD40. Being the Texas girl, I, of course, had WD-40 on hand. Iced that bad boy for 40 minutes and with some muscles that I didn't know I had...got that sucker together.
It is now 7:30pm.
v. hungry...v. grumpy kids....v. tired.
But LOOK!!! It is up!
I couldn't wait to use it all day Thursday! Good Night!
