Pretty straightforward build. Took me about 1.5 hours solo. I'm not in construction, so I'm sure others could do it much faster. The directions were fair at best. There were often sub steps to the other steps in the diagram only instruction with an odd step#10.  The only build challenges I had were in putting all the screws into the table top where the hydraulic pump is and figuring out which way the lift bracket was supposed to go. It's a decent quality item overall, not fancy (except for the lift part) but perfect for my needs.
