I have to admit this wasn't too bad to put together and I do agree w other reviews, YES you do need two people for some part of it.  I did it myself and struggled a little, but got it. The only part I couldn't get was the last piece to attach for the cover.  Tried to match the picture, not going to work. I will have a friend look at this and see if they can figure it out. Otherwise it's really nice in person-there was one screw missing out off the piece (an already placed screw). No problem I had an extra.  Overall very nice and would like to get another at some point...Nicer in person!!!
