Firstly The box is extremely heavy so definitely a 2 person job. We couldn’t carry it upstairs so we had to unload downstairs and take it upstairs a few pieces at a time. So everything was there and at first the instructions were confusing as we thought a piece was missing. However it was one piece that is used on both sides . Phew! Then the holes were fiddly but after trying out two different screw bits we found the right one. So all in all with two people it took approx 3 hours to put together. My daughter was delighted with the end result and it’s sturdy so hopefully it will stand the teen test and last at least 2 years! 4 stars as the instructions could be way better
