because putting it together twice is way more fun

We picked up the changing table on Saturday morning and carved out some time to put it together because surely it couldn't take that long, right?!? After working at an efficient pace double checking ourselves we found that close to 2 hours had gone by when we slid the last drawer in. No worries about the amount of time, better to take it slow and get it right than to have to redo it. Ha! If only we were so lucky. As the top drawer went in, we noticed 2 pieces of hardware that were on the front of the unit. I had noticed them along the way but figured the top drawer would conceal them and Jon was sure some sort of plugs or covers would take care of them. Alas, no. We had simply put the piece on backwards. And of course we have to pretty much disassemble the entire thing to get to the piece of backwards trim. Oh well, more quality time together assembling baby furniture!

Awesome! I can totally empathize with you. Daniel and I worked on the crib a few weeks ago. Mind you it's the same crib we had with Greyson but for some reason we didn't seem to have all the pieces this time. My father-in-law pointed out this past weekend we did, we were just putting it together all wrong. 2nd times the charm :)
