This took about and hour and a half to two hours, working mainly alone with help here and there. I do not recommend doing this alone nor with just a screwdriver. A power drill would've helped tremendously. Despite that, this was irritating to put together, to say the least. I was glad I got some extra screws, because the allen wrench provided was barely the right size. The trick was I had to push it in hard into each screw before lining everything up and screwing in. It hurt my fingers so bad doing that for over 10 screws. I ended up with a blister on my finger. I almost quit, it was so bad. That was initially why I was planning on giving this three stars. In the end, it looks nice and not cheap at all. It rolls and is quite deep. If I'd known how awful the assembly would've been though, I'm not sure I would have bought this. 3.5 stars, in the end.
