I put this unit together by myself. I don't know how I did it as I'm a 63 year old grandmother with health issues. I guess I was just so determined to do so due to my excitement over the purchase. The Trick is to turn the table top upside down on the cardboard box it came in (to keep from scratching it) and then put the screws in PARTIALLY, not entirely because the legs will not fit otherwise!!!!!!! I found this out the hard way. They need to tell you this on their instruction sheet.

Pros: Excellent craftsmanship and beautiful design at a cheaper price than in stores
Cons: Instructions need to say that tabletop should be put upside down on cardboard box, then screw legs on PARTIALLY first and then tighten rest of way once legs are all lined up or else they won't fit!
