This is a large piece and would be difficult for one person to put together, but I did it, and it looks great. There is, however, a HUGE issue with this piece. The instructions are incorrectimpossible to do in several places, mostly having to do with which piece of hardware goes in what hole. The instructions made this a very unpleasant project, but in the end it looks lovely and is very sturdy. And as usual, delivery was exactly as expected.
