3 men and 2 days to build. However we started at 4 pm and had to stop when it got dark. Start in the morning so that you can finish it in a day. 

One of the main supports is cracking straight down the middle. My husband and his friends were very unpleased by how the predrilled holes didn't line up with MANY of the pieces. 

The wood split alot during assembly with the screws and bolts.

I like the design and wish I was happier about it, unfortunately I'm fairly disappointed  yet it cost so much
