The instructions were awful. If you are older and your fingers don't work like they used to the 40-plus small nuts and bolts become very tiring after a while. Get a power screwdriver you will need it to tighten all the screws, also a 5/16 or # 8 wrench the longer the better. Assemble the legs first it is easier. Good luck, as the other reviews stated it isn't hard just time consuming.
