This was my first purchase so I was a little hesitant that I had to put it together.  Once I opened the box and saw that everything was marked, I was determined to assemble it without any help.  It took a little longer for me but was very proud of myself for hanging in there and not asking for help from my son-in-law. Some of the bolts/screws didn't fit perfectly so I had to change them around, use different ones.  All in all, it was a good experience.
