I am EXTREMELY pleased with this purchase. I purchased the additional delivery service to have the movers bring it into my place (2nd floor apartment) and I'm glad I did. The glass top is substantial. The base I could have handled, but it still would have been a struggle (I'm 4'11".) I recommend assembling this on a clean carpet or some sort of soft underlayment. I did this on my own, but I was pretty focused. It's something you want to do without distractions.
