Oh dear. The Stepcraft self-assembly process claims another unsuspecting victim. I presume by your references to "Stoney Croft" and "Stoney Craft" ...

I like peanuts. Well, peanut butter anyway. I reckon Stepcraft is more Nutella, or perhaps peanut butter with palm oil (which I dislike) rather than p...
