DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to get together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions（結(jié)構）.

DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional(專業(yè)的) worker. Unluckily, many people don't care about this warning and put themselves in danger.
