I wasn't too sure about this because it was a last minute purchase since what I really wanted is out of stock. It arrived in tact, but had to wait for a couple of weeks for me to open at new spot. When I took it out of the box (which was very strategic alone) and saw the frame, I was oh geez this not going to work. But I put it together alone and I am 5feet 1in. It was a lot of using my whole body to balance. It's really important to tighten all bolts for sturdiness. I am proud of the result and happy with the look for now.
