This was fairly easy to assemble. I think it would be a bit tricky for the "first time from a kit builder". The instructions are vague, so if you are not experienced with this sort of thing you may need some help. The bottom supports will be wobbly until secured with the behind the toilet panel, so I had to call a neighbor to help lift and put into place. All in all I am very happy with the finished product. Lots more space in my small apartment bathroom. Plants on top and decorative towel give a very homey look. I would definitely recommend for the price.
