Very tedious to put together, not easy to move once put together, without the pueces coming apart.  It took my son and I to push the metal rods into the plastic fitted fittings. I'm sure you could do it alone, but your hands will get tired. Once some weight is put on the cloth (yes kinda flimsy) shelves, they tend to come apart again. Good storage for sandals or small light shoes, but not for boots or heavy workout shoes. It has held up well, once situated in it's designated space.
