The instructions recommend two people and no power tools for assembly. I assembled it alone and used my drill on a low speed and the lowest torque level (but I still tightened by hand).

I didn’t have any show-stopper issues and the TV stand feels like a quality piece overall, but there are a few things to note
1. Assembly would absolutely be easier with two people
2. While it’s solid wood, it’s very soft, making it susceptible to deep scratches
3. There are a TON of screws involved in the assembly — this is no IKEA product. While the power drill helped me get through this a bit more quickly and with a little less carpal tunnel inflammation, the softness of the wood truly does require that you take it easy and tighten by hand.
