well, honestly, assembling prefabricated furniture parts is not really my idea of a productive or fun use of my time. It's easy to do, but can take a lot of time for bigger pieces, and doing it makes you painfully aware that the quality of the product is not that great (to put it nicely). Unlike building something yourself, you have zero control of the process or the outcome, it's really just about saving some money at the cost of your time. Maybe frustration is a hard word for that, but to me it's not enjoyable activity at all. And I otherwise love woodworking and manual labour, so it's not just me being lazy.
