Easiest assembly ever! Im 5’1 and about 140 lbs and I put it together by myself in about 20 mins. The desk comes in two shipments. One for the legs and one for the desktop. Man are they HEAVY! The desktop is the heaviest out of the two ( it is glass and metal so it is expected). I used the box it came in to lay flat and assemble the legs and help pull the desk upward once I put the legs on. Be careful lifting it if you don’t have help because I can see where it would be tricky if you don’t have the arm strength to do so on your own. The instructions are clear to read and assembly was a breeze. 
I had no issues with any damage like others have had with the glass top. It was perfect and just what I was looking for in my little kitchen cutout. Now I just need to get the chair I want to once it is back in stock on Wayfair. )
