#190 - Some Assembly Required

[padge]

Well I've built it (not physically obviously), and it looks like.... erm... nothing..... but then this is a purple so it's not going to be as easy as putting the thing together.

Oh, and one other thing that suggests it's not straight forward... there are only 20 pieces of dowling but to fit it together as you would think, it would need 24 pieces.

Anyone got any ideas - hints (I've tried getting Vons hint but not had a reply yet).

Hmm, Personally I think this one is a little ambiguous. Heres a hint-ette :

it better not be what i think it is, given the clues.

i've just spent hours trying to build this, and getting really hacked off

[manleym]

All i seem to get is some form of shelves

[fruppet]

Hmm its far better than my mess I dont have a clue what mine looks like,

Im sure all the main solvers would be DIY buffs

[Bendover]

I assembled this object and I think it is a

Wow! I just got it!

The thickness (or lack of thickness) of my post-it notes was what threw me off.

Great card!
