I normally don’t write reviews but I had to. I put this together ten minutes ago, not decorated but I couldn’t wait. I read someone said it took two hours to put together, I am 130 pounds, 5’6, female, and put it together in fifteen minutes. Moving the boxes was the hardest part and they really weren’t that heavy. It’s two screws, and stacking two pieces together. I was also skeptical over size, but I really love it. It’s perfect especially with something on top of it to kinda hide the “short” factor.
