I was able to finish this table alone. It took me roughly 5 hours, I had a difficult time following directions so I had to rework a couple of areas. I'm a person holding the picture of the item at the same angle as the part being worked to see what is next. The V portion was particularly difficult for me.  Overall it was no more frustrating as expected. I had a huge table in the space previously seating 8 and should have went with 6-person table instead of a 4-person. After all the work the thought of disassembling and returning makes me want to cry. I'll get used to it. The table is nice. I bought the one with the wood topper. Warning, it will scrape easily on top. Lesson learned.
