Extremely easy for one person to assemble. Height is great. If I need to spend some time at the bed I can stand or grab a stool. We had some occasional flooding and my plants were safe. Great for small areas and my garden beds will continue to look beautiful vs wood that shows stress just after the first season. This was my first time using Vego and I loved it so much I just purchased an assortment of 9 more beds to complete my garden. Well done Vego
