All tools were provided, even a Phillips screw driver!  This was easy to put together by just one person. The towel holder can be placed anywhere you choose.  The toilet paper holder is a bit flimsy and does not hold a larger roll of toilet paper.  Make sure you measure how high you want the bottom cross bar.  There are 3 levels to place it and it would be difficult to take everything apart if you have it too low.  There are adjustable foot pads, great for my irregular floor. There are color coordinated stickers to cover the screw holes.
