Was very easy to assemble with one person! Some of the instructions had reverse pictures with the 4 legs, so make sure the inserted nuts are facing outward, it will save you from disassembly and putting it the correct way! Was able to put it together myself in 2 hours. Be sure to go down to your local lumber yard and have them cut you a 42" x 92-1/12" piece of fence lattus and mount to the top before you put on the cover. I reside in Seattle, and the added piece will ensure that the cover does not fill up with water as it has a natural dip to it.
