Definitely not a one person job. Putting it together is a seemingly simple process, but the bolt holes didn't line up quite right every time. We had one person line them up with a screwdriver, while the other person quickly put the bolt in. The directions were lacking on how to mount it to the play area as well, so I would suggest either being or knowing an experienced handyman/handywoman. 
Once you get past the directions, it's a great product, the kids love it, and you can't beat the price.
