Really hard to assembly.  Pieces are so heavy that the foam package was completely shattered in hundreds of pieces -- it dissolved into hundreds of little pieces that attached to each piece of wood which then needed to be cleaned (one by one).  It created a mess at home that we needed to vacuum about 6 times during the process of putting it together.  The pieces are not well done for assembly -- e.g. you will need some heavy equipment to make holes in the right place as the ones that come already are not placed where they should be preventing bolts to be inserted.  This requires at least 2 males to assembly as it is super heavy and requires significant force to place each part.
