This was relatively easy to assemble as there was only one thing that concerned me. Shelves do not have a wrong side up or down, which was good, took about 10 mins to put together, it comes with its own tool an small allen wench, but I did use an electric drill with allen head because do not have strength in hands to turn wrench! Also wished it was paired with a weaved basket as I would have bought one or two which I now will have to get!
