I was amazed at how many pieces there were!  Took me a while to section them out, but once I got started the going was easy.  EXCEPT for part A.  Of all the tools that I had nothing seemed to work - so that was a minus.  They don't provide tools or list what you need to put it together - another minus.  But all in all it took me about 5 hours to put together. Took my time and did it by myself - I'm all of 100 lbs.  Very sturdy and happy with the finished product!  Just the perfect piece that I needed.
