I needed my husband to help hold one side while putting it together, but other than that was pretty easy and I was capable of doing it myself.   Make sure to note there are 3 sizes of screws that look alike.  2 of the sizes are very similar in length and now I have to figure out where I put the longer screw so I can put the last screw into the table.  I have one in my living room right now bc my deck isn't finished being built yet.  I sit on it from time to time and its very comfortable and feels sturdy.
