You will need a power drill for this. You will measure and mark your own holes for drilling. If youve ever purchased a piece of furniture that you had to put together then most are already predrilled for you...not this.
Took me about 2 hours by myself just because i wanted to make sure i did it right. There are scan codes within the directions that give you the option to view video instructions on your phone, however, i did not use it.
After set up, i was pleased with it. It turned out exactly how it looks. I love it and the versatility of it
