This was a great project.  We first laid out all the pieces in numerical order.  There were 5 of us and it took 5 12 hours including a 30 min lunch break.  We worked well together and all had our own parts.  One read the directions, one one was in charge of nuts and bolts.  The other three used the screw guns and tools.  We went step by step and it went together beautifully.  Be conscious of where all the predrilled holes are before putting in screws.  It is easy to put the boards on backwards.  I would buy another one of these in a heartbeat.  Great product!
