I think this serving cart was pretty easy to assemble.  I did have to tap the tray pins with a hammer a little bit because they were a little out of alignment with the holes.  And sometimes I had to pull the wicker away from a hole so the pin could fit in- but all that is what I've come to see as the usual in assembling furniture from a box.  The cart is wonderful-  with a lot of space, rolls easy, really makes bringing food to the table on our porch so easy!  I love it.  And it is beautiful too!  I would recommend it.
