I ordered mine unassembled and it took about two hours to complete. The wrench and Allen key kept slipping, but I finally managed to screw everything together. I also attached the back on wrong and had to unscrew and re-screw so it didn't read "WELCOME" backwards, lol!
The result is gorgeous. I took my weight and I'm heavy, so it's quite sturdy. Plenty of room too.
It is rather heavy, but I steadily got it into my sandy back yard and it fits in nicely.
