So the reviews led me to believe that I (7 month pregnant lady that doesn’t love assembling furniture) could do this solo. The instructions did warn that the assembly was 3 out 5 stars, but I thought it would be no problem at all. There are missing holes that require a power tool to create tools which is not stated in the instructions. The piece has a slight wobble to it. The instructions are a bit challenging to understand at times. The piece itself is pretty heavy and the height between shelves is great.
