I'm not the best at putting things together, but was able to put my cart together in 2 hours by myself.  I had a cheap electric drill which I recommend to speed the process along.  The tool kit came with a Allen wrench, so I could easily plug and play.The cart looks beautiful, my wife loves it, and I can get served from the couch.  Win Win!Seriously, I hate putting things together.  I read about 100 reviews on carts and chose this Regiene Kitchen Island.  Sooooo happy I did.  Never aging will I spend several hours putting together a poorly made product.  THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT.For the people out there like me, quit comparing.  This is the low cost, well made, easy to install, beautiful cart that your girlfriend or wife will love.
