This was not easy to put together at all, but I managed to do it alone over 2 days. The board material and the hardware were pretty cheap--dowels didn't fit, screws and holes stripped and directions were not quite clear enough to follow since some of the numbered pieces were different in the book. Even now, two of the front legs are really wobbly on my TV stand (stripped holes) and I'm nervous about it toppling over. And the drawer pulls are plastic! Not exactly what I was hoping for, but you get what you pay for.
