Nope, not quite...
In our house (under my iron-fisted rule) the box top must remain out of sight. We don' need no stinkin' picture to work from!
When complete, I do leave it out to enjoy for as long as wife will put up with it... and then, I actually very carefully separate it into box-sized segments that get stacked in the box. That way, the next time it is assembled (could be many years from now!) we can verify that all the pieces are there before we begin! ;)
