It was very heavy for one person to assemble.  There were no written instructions, just pictures.  All the parts arrived and pieces were in good condition.  However, once I got the basic pieces together & ready to put the back on, the sections would not stay together and the whole thing was too heavy to navigate to try to nail the back on.  I disassembled the pieces & donated the whole thing to a thrift store.  Very disappointed, as I have ordered several small tables & was able to  assemble with no problem.
