When you receive and open up the packages, you might be temporarily overwhelmed. BUT fear not. There is a very good visual manual that walks you through every phase of assembly. Once you commit to begin putting it together, you have conquered the hardest part. Its crucial that the platform that the greenhouse sits is level and absolutely square. Put lots of time into this phase 'cus if it's not correct, stuff isn't going to come together as it should. For the most part, this greenhouse can be put together with one person, as I had done. I used a perimeter of 4" x 4" posts to mount the greenhouse and it worked out great. I might suggest and recommend that the key is not to try and break any records assembling,  and double ensuring that the next step you do is right. I would definitely recommend and would buy again.
