Definitely need two people to open the box and take out the pieces, but I put the furniture together on my own. The only thing I worry about is the wine glass holders, which are lose and wobbly despite the glue and screws. Difficult to get into the tight space to tighten the screws properly. I'll have to buy a palm-sized screwdriver. Other than that, I love the look and the way it allows me to organize my serving pieces.
