So this takes anywhere from 2-3 hours to full assemble but it’s very sturdy once full set up. There is one part in the middle that ideally you would have two people for but it’s doable with one person. I almost had a part fall and break but it was a small part that later would get covered and secured with other visual pieces. In the end it works great for the space and separates our kitchen and living room lovely. It’s a nice height and I used the shelves for my books because this faces into our living room. Worth the money.
