It was very easy to assemble.  Does help if you can have 2 people as table top is long & awkward if you're trying to assemble yourself.  Be aware, there is a sticker on this table that explains, per law in California, the manufacturer is required to attach a sticker saying the table contains formaldehyde, which is something that can cause cancer.  This was a little alarming & had I known that up front, I probably would have not purchased the table.  That being said, I already spent a significant amount of money, will be keeping the table & I love it.  The picture was a good representation & exactly what I was expecting.
