I found this very well designed and the parts fit together surprisingly well. Take all of the parts out of the boxes and organize them before you start. Take your time and follow the directions. We used a couple of bit drivers. I can't imagine turning all those screws and bolts by hand. You'll need help. 2 people are required and a third is helpful. If you have a friend who is handier than yourself, bribe them with pizza and beer. Be sure to have them bring their tools when they come over to help. Very happy with the purchase.
