It was a bear to haul in and put together,  that being said, I am a senior woman, so maybe that was the prob!  I did persevere though!  I opened the 80lb package right at my front door where it was delivered, piece by piece.  Once every piece was inside, it took me about 30 min to assemble.  It was one of the few tables I found online or anywhere that was the perfect length and width that I was looking for.  It looks great!
