The set up was easy and I did most of it myself. I needed at least 1 extra person when it came time to raise the leg height because when I did it myself it started to topple over. But with my husband on the other side it balanced out as we did legs diagonal to each other. For taking down, I couldn’t pull the middle part down to get the bar out so he had to do that but I did the rest. It went up easily and looked nice so I immediately went and ordered a second one for our party. The bag with wheels and the two handles are great! Very happy. A week later we had to go to a graduation party and my brother in law liked them so much he asked us to bring them for his own party and I think they are now going to purchase one too.
