So this is time consuming to put together. I feel like they could have attached the metal parts before packing. That said, it’s not so bad if you have a drill. It will definitely take many hours to assemble with a screw driver. With a drill it probably took me 3 hours. With a screwdriver all day if I had to guess. I’m actually going to order a second one because I like the assembled product so much. Not looking forward to the assembly though.
