this was not easy to put together with one person at all, cheap tools they send, its all metric, it took me hours, but i did it, never will i purchase anything like this again, its hard trying to hold the weight and needing two hands to turn the nuts and stabilize the screw.....not fun lots of dropping the flimsy tool, ugh.....but i love it now its done ! its tight, sturdy and so pretty ! if this is for you make sure you have two people and it will be set up in 45 mins im sure, not my case.....im adding pictures
