I was able to put this together by myself in about 2 hours. Just make sure you read the directions thoroughly cause I did have to undo work at one point because I skimmed the directions. Only tools needed are an Alan key and a screwdriver. There were a few cosmetic imperfections in the pieces but nothing too bad. 

Perfect size for my 5 year old. I was able to store all of her toys underneath and had space for a little nook for her to read or have tablet time.
