Yes, this is always an
understatement. While trying to piece together a cute little
computer desk, I thought, not altogether jokingly, "Why don't I just pay them $100 and they give me an
oak log and an axe and ask me to make this thing?"
Or better yet, how about a "Grow Your Own Desk" kit? A couple of acorns in a plastic baggie. Sell this thing for $19.99 and you could make millions, along with a "Solar-powered Tanning Bed." A sucker is born every minute, and this has pyramid scheme written all over it.
Enough of this, I have to finish putting together my "some assembly required" desk now.
