Assembling a table in the office

Hello Rabbi,
Do you think buying a table from IKEA and assembling it can be considered a craft for the holiday and therefore permissible? Or should we wait until after the holiday? I will point out that my mother will also use the table during the holiday because the previous one is a bit shaky.

An Ikea table is not a work of art, since by definition it is intended for assembly by laymen. Beyond that, it is a matter of necessity. Therefore, it is permissible.
