It took me about an hour and 15 minutes to assemble.  Each piece was labeled with either a letter or a number which made assembly very easy. Since I was assembling this by myself I did encounter some difficulty when it came to attaching the drawers to the inside but with a whole lot of patience, balancing and a few swear words I was able to get them connected.  I just wish that I had an electric screw driver,  assembly would have been so much quicker. I love the look of it!
