It took a while to get the sewing machine cabinet delivered, but it finally arrived at the dealer in flat fold boxes. We picked it up, removed all the pieces from the boxes and carried them all upstairs. No need to go the gym that day!
The assembly instructions from Arrow were very complete, with tons of drawings and tips. They also have a YouTube video on how to install the hydraulic lift mechanism and another one on how to assemble the cabinet. I was very impressed that they had a woman doing the assembly in the video; that appealed to my sensibility that women can be engineers (like me) and can put things together (like many of you). I love getting out my tools and doing things like this. Here is the link to the assembly video: assembling the Kangaroo cabinet.
I did run into a few snags along the way and asked my husband to come up and help me figure things out and hold the heavier parts when two people were needed. He graciously volunteered to keep helping me. After 2 days and a few sore hands and bodies, we gave up and called the shop. Turns out, there were some manufacturing issues that needed to be fixed before we could complete the assembly. Our local shop decided to come to the house and complete the assembly for us to make things right. Gotta love that customer service from the local shop.
In the meantime, we assembled the Joey cabinet. Again, the instructions were detailed and easy to follow.
Here is the completed set-up. It's huge and I love it.
