A Note of Thanks

Dear Sirs,
I am writing to express my delight over your fine product Fire House Bookcase and Storage Shelves. My two favorite words in life are "Assembly Required," and the more to assemble the better, so you can imagine my glee over the seventeen separate panels and one hundred and thirty-three pieces of hardware. Further, as I am also a pictograph hobbyist, I was overjoyed to find that your instructions came without words of any kind. Adding to the already delectable challenge, the instructional pictures appear to be satellite photographs. I salute your sense of sport, sirs!

Need I mention the twenty-three extra screws, including one category prominently labeled but never actually used? Or the thirty-six screws used to secure the back panel, which, by the way, had neither guide holes in the panel or pilot holes in the wood? It was all a joy, and when I finally gazed upon the finished product, I realized that this bookcase is certainly large enough to crush a man. In fact, I believe it already has.

Yours Sincerely,
Admiral Dan Sinking
