furnishing an apartment from zero

My D and roommates used mostly hand-me-downs for their first apartment, but my D bought Target furniture for her bedroom (armoire, desk, bed table). While it looked fine, we spent the better part of two days putting it all together. Don’t know if we got stuff that was really poorly made, but nothing seemed to line up right. Eventually we got it right, but it was a long day of work. I think it took us 10 hours for all three pieces. Granted, neither one of us had experience, but I’m not sure my H (despite his comments to the contrary) would have but it together any faster. My D sold it all on Craig’s List when she moved–the person who bought it was thrilled and came to get it the same day that she listed it.
