I really enjoyed putting it together, its very easy and I did it alone. So it doesnt really take 2 people, would be easier but not necessary. The foot doesnt raise as high as I thought it would, and at first when I opened the box and saw the wood I thought I was sent the wrong product. Overall Im happy with what I have and I intend on buying all my home items from Wayfair. Everything I have bought so far as been very nice and a great quality. I would recommend to anyone you would listen and I have already told many people and purchasing from Wayfair. Wayfair is the best.
