This table was very easy to put together. No tools needed just the allen wrench and screws that were included. I'm 61 and have orthopaedic problems so saying this was easy to put together is no joke. I did have to get underneath the table for the screws for the table top,I recommend doing the base, then the table on top. The packaging was amazing and the pieces were well protected from damage. It also came in 3 separate boxes which I found nice because it was easier to lift and unpack.
