General Tips for Assembly:

• Patience is Key: Take your time with each step. Rushing can lead to errors or damaged parts.
• Organize Parts: Before starting, sort and organize all components according to the manual's numbering.
• Test Fit: Whenever possible, dry-fit pieces before applying glue to ensure a proper fit.
• Use Glue Sparingly: Apply a thin, even layer of glue. Excess glue can be messy and affect the final appearance. Allow sufficient drying time.
• Refer to Visuals: The manual's pictures are crucial. Pay close attention to the orientation and placement of each piece.

Step-by-Step Guidance:

1. Preparation: Unpack all components and verify against the parts list in your manual. Identify the main structural pieces.
2. Building the Structure: Begin by assembling the main walls and floor sections of the coffee shop. These are typically larger wooden pieces that interlock or require gluing.
3. Adding Interior Details: Proceed to assemble the miniature furniture, shelves, and counter. These often involve smaller wooden and paper components.
