Bummer! I kinda feel that frustration. The new couch arrived but…with no legs, back cushions or throw cushions. I thought they maybe just didn’t deliver the second box but the shipping label says only one box.

TIL mom and I think alike. I hate that stuff, besides assembly it is usually make like crap / garbage. You do get what you pay for, they have driven good furniture manufacturing out of business so you see more and more of that stuff.

I keep telling my wife not to bring home that stuff as I don't want to assemble it. A while back we had a bed that had so many parts it took us 2 days to put it together, it was nuts, like a huge puzzle. When we moved to our new home I took a hammer to that bed and pulverized it, I then put it into my SUV piece by piece to be transported to a refuse bin at my work as I wasn't taking it apart and re-assembling it at the new home. no no.

Yeah the worst part is I also learned NOT to toss the box / packaging too quickly I feel I would maybe un build the 2 chairs and return them but too late now they're not that bad but think some of the others I was considering would be nicer.

LOVE that you took a hammer to that bed
