I read the reviews before ordering this item.  Most people seemed frustrated by by how long it took to put it together is together or that they needed 2 people.. Im a single woman in my mid fifties, not necessarily fit and I  was able to get the entire hutch put together with just me.. It took me a few hours but I took my time and was able to get it finished properly.  It is sturdy and instructions were easy to follow.   I would recommend this item. Its exactly what I was looking for.
