What's the hardest Christmas present you've ever had to assemble for the kids?

For me, it's been pretty easy so far.

Cozy coupe is a breeze.

I did a wooden swingset for a birthday. I would never recommend, and don't see how someone could do that at night on Xmas eve. Worst things I've done on Xmas eve was 3 or 4 power wheels over the years. They weren't that bad, but definitely a buzz kill.

Add a third person. I had three people with mine and made it much easier.

A Foosball table while drinking heavily. Was a freaking nightmare. Never worked right. Major pita. Major screwed up. Nothing lined up. Ending up throwing the whole thing away by summertime.

No kids but I guess the hardest I've ever done was helping put a trampoline together in freezing cold weather around 2am Christmas AM.

That was still easier than wrapping gifts.

When I was a lad I got the GI Joe aircraft carrier one year. It had to be a nightmare for my folks. I remember my Mom handing me the decal sheets and saying "here, Santa didn't have time to out all the decals on".

Had to be this....



The trampoline itself was held tight by this one long bungee chord you stretched around the whole thing that needed to be about 5" longer. That damn thing about made me cuss the very existence of Christmas.

Id plan on alot more than that. It truly sucks.

If you found a place that offers installation for a fee, thats the best money you could possibly spend.
