Today has not gone as planned and I may be about to make it worse.
The utility room of my new house opens on to lovely countryside. The weather recently made me think it would be nice to have breakfast there whilst ABing so I bought a small table and two chairs; my first flat pack. I need advice.
At what point should I:

A. Start to swear
B. Start to drink
C. Give up.

TIA.

Bonfire? Potatoes..Chestnuts...mmmmmmmm
All things being equal, follow the rule that if it's not wobbly but you still have a few bits left over, don't worry about it.
C before you start.
I used to do that, but then I did this:

A) Open box, make tea, read instructions front to back, identify all tools needed and get same before commencement.
B) Identify all pieces as per instructions. - More tea.
C) Put all screws, nails etc on a tray put all same screws, nails etc in groups together - At this point tea is good.
D) Realise it is going to take longer than expected.
E) Begin - Taking tea every hour.
