Love the table, i felt bad for Tom from Handy.com, Assemble recommended 2 pros, but he did it on his own, but i had to help him lift it up from the upside down position. We made a great team! I recommend that they folks that are asking for the pros, look at the assembly instructions ahead of time so they know how many pros they may need. I didn't want to reschedule,  and Tom was gracious enough to finish it for me.
