I absolutely love this stand. There are a lot of pieces and many heavy ones, but that's what makes a durable and lasting item! I counted/matched pieces and screws and got to assemble about more than half by myself (over an hour) then my BF helped with the remainder which took about 30 minutes. I would say I would have been able to assemble this myself, but with two people it wasn't as tiring. By far one of the easiest instruction manuals to take direction from. All the holes and places of connection aligned correctly with no difficulty securing properly. I've had no problem with assembling the drawers on the track and have had no problem opening and closing it. A really good purchase for just over a $300 purchase, and being on the lower price end. Delivered in two packages, one was about 100lbs and the other was about 70lbs.
