Besides, it requires visualizing the instruction chart into three dimensions, which is often difficult for a large number of people, who are not gifted in logical-mathematical intelligence and visual-spatial intelligence. To understand the assembly of a shelf or any other complex gadget requires a hand-on training or close interactions between the learners and the teachers. If someone has not experienced either of the above two conditions, he/she is likely to spend several hours in assembling different components of the shelf unsuccessfully.
