Boy can I relate to THAT!! Your pictures are hysterical. The first time I ever attempted to put a bookcase together I almost threw the screwdriver across the room. And the cats walking all over didn't exactly make things any easier. I finally called my best friend who had put her bedroom furniture and 3 large floor to ceiling bookcases together. It took her less than a half and hour!!I'll be in real trouble if I have to do it again since she lives in CT and I now live in MI.
