I bought an outdoor play set, one of the big redwood ones, from a preschool that was closing down in north BR. Had to go take it apart, put it on a trailer in a very shady arrangement, and then get it home and put it together.
For some reason this made me lol

I've got an almost 4 and a 1.5......so far I'd say by far the worst I've dealt with is one of those damn red little tyke's car.....Jesus Christ would've never expected it
Honorable mention for the modern version of what we used to call "Big Wheels".....a battery powered police truck they can sit in and drive . There was one particular part of that job that was very poorly explained in the 3 sentences of directions and had me stumped for hours. I'm not sure I ever got it "correct" but the damn thing is still together

Oh god.....I'm in trouble Tuesday....

Worst was a Barbie mermaid deal years ago, mainly because it was Christmas Eve at 2 am and I was hammered. Good times.
FF 25 years I put my granddaughters 4-wheeler ride on toy in 1 hour despite the fact that the installation manual said “computer desk”

In the early 2000s, I spent all Christmas eve night putting up a big swingset in the backyard after the kids went to sleep,
accompanied only by a bottle of Jack Daniels, a glass and some ice. The wife did not make it any better by continually coming outside to say "so sorry you have to do this."
The neighbors surely heard the F-bombs. Never again.

I have a giant swingset to put together tomorrow night. Showed up on an 18 wheeler. 6 pallets of shite. Had to hide it all in my shop. According to my wife it's about half the size of our house. Might need a crane. No way this ends in any kind of sucess.

A friend of ours and his wife (they are about 15 years younger than us) have a 4 year old daughter. Last Christmas we bought her one of the kitchens. He FaceTimed me the day after Christmas wanting to know why I hated him and showed me the billion pieces he had laid out.
My hardest was a cheap arse set of chest of drawers my wife bought our daughter. Nothing would line up properly. Took me 3 showings of Elf and 12 beers to get that shite finished.

My wife has learned to stay away when I’m assembling shite for her and the kids. It’s best for all parties involved

We had a train set two years ago that the devil himself created and that took hours and hours to build.
Ever since then my rule is we buy nothing we have to assemble.

Putting together an "easy-bake oven" (cheap imitation) for my daughter
(of course without reading the instructions) back in mid 60's - I am still embarrassed at the disrespect I offered up to my Christmas Season expectations.

About to put together this bike. I learned from last year. I started earlier than 11PM.

Basketball goal, big one. I bet those are easier not by yourself.

One year we get home full of Christmas cheer from a family party and my wife says, oh there’s a box in the garage that needs to be put together for the boys from Santa. Pull it out and it’s one of those Electric pop a shot basketball goals. By the time i sorted the parts I felt like Elon assembling a damn rocket. Asked the wife for a bottle of whiskey and went to work until 5 am on that MF.
The next morning the boys came down, saw it and said “oh thank you Santa we love Santa.” I looked at my wife and laughed and said yeah don’t we love Santa!
Man, I miss those days. My boys are men now. Cherish every minute. It goes fast.
Merry Christmas fellas.

I’ve got to put together a $800 trampoline this weekend. Really looking forward to that.

Dammit to hell. I cut my hand open on this damn kids Bike.
When it was fabbed at the handle bars it wasnt smoothed.
They left a lip so if you run your hand across it, it'll slice you open.

My previous comment ITT was based on a similar swing set/treehouse/playground.
It was for my neighbor’s kids and I offered to help, which was a colossal mistake.
We ended up finishing it on December 27th
