The assembly instructions prohibit power tools and suggest two persons. There is no possible use for power tools, but I completed it alone in 52 minutes. As other reviewers have said, the instructions are - unique. Keep an open mind and you can figure them out. Hopefully this will not be the hot new trend in furniture assembly instructions. There is one deficiency in the instructions. It is highly likely that one of the hinges on the door will be damaged if installed as "written." To install the door, recommend backing off on the bottom screw on the hinge side to permit more space to install the door, then re-tighten the screw. Still, the door is a tight fit  and in my case scuffed the bottom shelf the first time I closed it. It's possible that my unit is slightly out of spec, in which case it may work better for others.
