It's an art of writing clear, yet concise assembly instructions.

Obviously, the writer has to know how the product goes together. But they also need to step back and write objectively for a consumer who may have no familiarity with the components, assembly steps or final product.

A good writer will have an independent colleague read the instructions to review for clarity and effectiveness.

Usually the people who write assembly directions are in other countries. Someone who thinks they know English will write them but it ends up not making too much sense.

This isn't a special education question though.

You know, I can see that actually happening -- that they do NOT read what they wrote!

That is why I ALWAYS lay out any item to be assembled, mark them similarly to the Assembly Stage Diagrams, and it works correctly the first time!
