My husband and I put the first one together and then he put the second one together alone. It was very straight forward and took a little under an hour. We just moved into a new place (still need a bed frame) and these were just what we were looking for. My only complaint is that the draws are a little floppy. They don't sit in a groove or attach to anything that properly slides them out and back in but when they are closed you can't tell.
