Very easy to assemble.  I'm getting many compliments from friends and guests on this great cart.  It holds everything we need for parties and is easy to move around on our hardwood floors. Guests can help themselves to refills from the cart without having to go into the kitchen.  I put it together in no time without help.  Doesn't take up a lot of space when not in use and becomes a great conversation piece in the dining room.  Super strong and secure.
