I bought 2 of these and a extaa tower. It is all in the planning. once you  have it planned out easy to assemble but it is time consuming. Band saw helps with  cutting the  pipes. If you  are not handy do not even try unless you do not have to cut. I planned around having studs unsed whereever i could. Looks great and funtions well. I have a good 20 hours in to complete. power tools  make it so much easier. Like a small belt sander for the edges. plenty of spare screws, they are not cheap. I even made an extra 3 shelves from one of the large pieces.
