This is a solid, well-built table. Putting it together wasn't too bad, I'd just recommend reading the instructions and paying attention to the pictures. I was able to put it together by myself, but I did need a phillips head screw driver. The design and everything is very good. If you need to adjust the height of the table often, I could see that becoming a pain, but I mostly just need to leave mind at one height. Tilting and laying the top flat isn't too difficult, but to lay it flat after it's been raised, you pretty much have to stand to do it.
