Assemble was easy; follow the directions, and it's a cakewalk. I did it by myself one lazy Sunday morning, probably to me about an hour cause I wasn't rushing. Mounting on the wall requires two people, however. 3 would be idle. My buddies and I installed it on the wall, and it wasn't an issue cause two people held and one person drilled and screwed it into the stud. I would suggest mounting this stand into the stud if you can for added support and reassurance. I have a 3-year-old, and she bounces off everything, so the added support made sure it won't come collapsing on her foot.
