I am used to putting together these kinds of ready to build furniture items. helps if you are good at spacial relations as you need to go by diagrams to assemble. Took my time, did it by myself and it took just over 3 hours. Instructions are clear, all the bits and parts you need are there except for a Phillips screw driver. Some of the pre-drilled holes had bits of wood inside or still hanging from the inside of the hole - these get caught in the bolts and cause a problem - but once you know - easy to clear and do over. Looks very nice, seems sturdy, grand sons will put it to the test next week!
Sturdy, easy to assemble... mostly
