This took about an hour to put together by one human with another human watching and helping at the end. If you're handy you could probably do it 100% alone, but ultimately it would be easier to have a 2nd person to help hold things in place with the larger pieces. It looks VERY substantial and nice and not cheap at all. It's high enough that if you put it in an area where kids or pets could bother it, you may want to anchor it to the wall and it provides straps for that. We have it by the front door for Storage, dog stuff, and whatever else we want to hide. Even though there are open slats you can't see what's inside so it doesn't look messy. You can of course chose not to put all the shelves in if you want to put tall things on the shelf but I found that all my Storage fit.
Worth it.
