I am 78 years young and I put it together alone. When assembled the end table is very heavy and solid.  My husband is disabled and spends most of GH is day in his recliner and he particularly likes the pull out tray .  It is very nice looking is a definite nice addition to the decor of our four seasons room.  The instructions were detailed and easy to understand but it would have been a lot easier if it had been a two person job rather than just me.  Some of the pieces are rather heavy.
