Very happy with this stand. The instructions are well written and have online video aid if needed. If your comfortable assembling furniture, you will do fine solo.Even this women could handle it solo but 2 men carried the 2 boxes to the building area--they weight a ton !! Give yourself several hours and take your time to not miss a step and all be go smoothly. 

Pros: well packaged, VERY sturdy, great storage, well priced
Cons: color is darker in person
