This is a really great looking, extremely well made product that I would recommend to anyone needing extra space in the kitchen. It can be assembled by one person you just need to be a little creative on what you lean parts against in order to get by with only two hands. Assembly is straightforward but will take a little time as a number of the fasteners which must be turned to tighten with an allen wrench (included) can only make a partial turn due to where they are located so you need to constantly re-set the allen wrench. That should not dissuade anyone from buying as it is really an excellent piece.
