Well, my husband worked on putting this together for over 6 hours, but he isn't the "handyman" type. He was stuck on getting the drawer slides installed, and within 5 minutes, I was able to figure out that he mixed the bolts and screws. With my help, it was together within 10 minutes. I love it! It looks sleek, and we really wanted a large, open workspace. It delivers! It does tend to wobble a bit, but it could be how my husband put it together. You do have to watch how you flip it over in the end and move it, because the drawer did fall on us. Just retighten things, and you should be good!
