Definitely easier with 2 people assembling. The filing cabinet doesn’t have a stop between regular and legal size files. I McGyverd it and it works ok. I got the natural wood color and added against a wall in spare bedroom. It fits perfectly and looks nice. Not oversized and I use a square ottoman with big square pillow on top for seat since I don’t spend much time at that Mac monitor. Slides under desk perfectly. On sale this is a buy!
