Took a few hours to put together. But hey, it comes in a box what do you expect Even if you are moderately skilled and have patience it won’t be a problem. Really only need one tool, phillips screwdriver. I used a cordless drill to speed it up a little. It does off gas quite a bit. We will just kept the unit open for a few days and it should clear up. Is this a family heirloom we can pass to the next generation No. But for a few hundred bucks we should get  years of use form it.
