I built this with an assistant (it would be a bit cumbersome for one person but not impossible). It was easy to assemble, instructions clear, took about 30 minutes from start to finish. The max rod width is 66" so depending on your project, you may need two or even more sets. This is a light-medium duty product and will not hold thick, heavy drapes as the horizontal rod is thin. But it is great for light curtains, including the newer blackout curtains that use opaque plastic rather than thick heavy wooly cotton.
