Frasier does a minimal amount of work on a Habitat project. Once the house is built, he begins to make a nuisance of himself, trying to get them to decorate the way he wants. They are a blue collar family and do what they can to be kind, but he is so invasive. The highlight of this episode is a presentation made by Niles to a group of fourth graders. It's pretty funny.

Annoying Frasier rather than funny Frasier
professor_of_gamez26 January 2022
The first thought would be that perhaps this episode was done during a writers' strike (so they decided it would be easier to go with drama rather than comedy).
Frasier was just plain annoying throughout this episode. And annoying is NOT the same thing as funny.
As another reviewer pointed out, this is a VERY skippable episode.

Some Assembly Required

Well that was a nice little run of form blown.
This is a dud episode of the show, feeling very much like a filler outing as we pad our way towards the end of the tenth series.
It sees Frasier Crane at his most annoying, and it doesn't make for much fun at all.
The B plot involving the other characters is slightly better, but this is a thin and rather unfunny episode.
The tenth series has shown signs of improvement from the last couple, but when the dud episodes rear their ugly head they certainly do make a clanging sound.
Unfortunately, while I'm sure well-intentioned, this was not a good episode.

Don't care for this episode

Warning: Spoilers
Daphne's mom is super annoying. Really dislike the episodes that she is in. The more screen time she has, the less I tend to like the episode.
It basically has to overcome her in order to be good...or she has to be so ignorable that the episode is able to stand despite her.
Frasier is really annoying in this episode. His shenanigans is usually enjoyable, but this one is too much.
Martin gives presentation to kids...then Niles fills in. Boring.
This episode is skippable.
