Whew..this was a project for me. The instructions are really not that clear, and it was a lot of guesswork on my end and I screwed up the side holder thing, but easily corrected it. I recommend getting someone to help you put it together. The instructions said an hour and a half with 2 people, I got it done in 2 days by myself. The cart itself works great but the instructions and assembly almost made it not worth it.
