Charles showed up a little after 900 and proceeded to pull all the parts out of the box and lay them out on the floor to make sure all parts were there.  It looked like a giant jig saw puzzle.  He then proceeded to put it all together.  I took him 2.5 hours of non-stop work to complete his job.  It was so worth it to pay the extra for the assembly.  If I had tried to do it myself I’d still be at it close to 5 hours later..
