My girlfriend handled most of the assembly because Ive got a bad back and she offered. I helped when we could stand up to put things together. It took quite a while, but its worth it. I need it because my home was involved in Hurricane Idalia and it was flooded..I have no kitchen. I wanted something to use when Im around cleaning, etc..waiting for the rebuild. This piece will work perfectly and then I can use it for something else later.
