It took about three hours to put together. I did put together myself, which can get tricky with certain parts of the installation. It came out amazing, very sturdy, a lot of space to work with and I like how the table side can be collapsed. I am very happy with this product. This was also very easy to clean as well. The shelf can be adjusted which is another thing I like you’re able to move things around to get the most use out of this product.
