Except, I think I ultimately failed because the one-page instructions didn't seem to be needed... and I only discovered that some of the rods were differently sized after I'd plugged them in (and couldn't pull them out without breaking the adhesive). So, now this will be an example I'll use for my class when I talk about noticeable differences;) I just did something similar yesterday in assembling a wooden line-dry device for hand-washed clothes.
