After reading the reviews I was a little worried about putting this together because tools and puzzles arent really my type of thing, but honestly it was very intuitive and it look great.  There are a few times when i was confused when putting it together, but all in all it was much easier than I thought it would be.  It probably took me about 2 hours but about 30 minutes was spent on one particular step where you have to line a handful of places up before setting some bolts in place.  It would definitely help to have 2 people during this step.  Overall the stand looks great and feels pretty sturdy.  Good product for the price.
