As others have noted, reading the parts list and instructions carefully both before and while assembling is a must. There are many parts and different types of hardware, but everything is labelled well. It took me 1 hr 45 minutes to put together using a cordless drill with screwdriver bit, which I highly recommend. I can’t imagine how long it would take hand tightening all of those screws. That being said, I am pleased with the overall construction of the stand. It seems well-built despite it being pressed wood. Be careful while putting this together so you don’t inadvertently chip any corners exposing the particle board underneath. We purchased it to put a 58” TV on and the feet JUST fit. The table top itself actually measures 47-34” as specified in the dimensions diagram, but not the 48” is it advertised as.
