This does take some time to put together, but it's not complicated (and not as dangerous as the instructions warned).  I was able to do it myself, though it would be faster with a partner.  I was annoyed at the sticky plastic film that covered some of the sides; I chose metal in order to avoid plastics.  I put my kid to work peeling it off because I would have lost my mind doing it myself.  Overall, it's flimsy and doesn't have a bottom, and I could have just built myself a wood planter with scrap wood.  This should be a $30 planter.  I'm sure it will look nice once I fill it.
