I wasn't hopeful when it arrived: box was damaged but no damage to the actual product.  I had a handy tool so didn't have to rely on the allan-key - that said, it still took me nearly 2 hours to put it together.  If you have an electric screwdriver with correct allan-key insert, you'd do it a lot quicker and with fewer blisters!  the side supports come in two parts for each 'leg' which you have to tonk together which felt a bit cheap but I guess they were thinking flat pack/size issues so hence each one in two parts. That said instructions easy to follow and build is sturdy once assembled.
