The directions had no words but were very well drawn, so I had no problem following along. It took me about 1.5 hrs to finish carefully putting it together. The whole piece is not so heavy to require help (63 yrs old female). It is a lot of parts, a lot... 22 or so... plus hardware. I separated everything by numbers before starting. The only tool I needed was a philips head screwdriver. I had also purchased another unit from a different manufacturer which is why I can say the QUALITY of this cutie was quite superior. The OTHER unit was very flimsy abd cracked around the holes every time I started screwing the bolts in. Not this one! Everything alined well the first time around. I love it!
VERY GOOD QUALITY - STRAIGHT FORWARD ASSEMBLY
