This was a good purchase, and is exactly what I needed. However, I put it together by myself because help wouldn't be here until the next morning and I was impatient. It actually was quite easy to build, but required some very creative thinking and balancing acts because it was just me, but I did it! I REALLY REALLY recommend having TWO PEOPLE cuz it'll save you some frustration, and might alleviate thrown tools ;) and really sweary words!
