Putting it together was relatively quick and I didn't need any help. Though I did not enter the bar that connects the table with the mechanics for adjusting the heights properly at first. So only one side of the table went up! But it was a relatively easy fix and I didn't need to dismantle everything to correct it. The machine is very quite and smooth. Very easy to raise the height away from my curious toddler who wants to 'help' me at my home office setup.
