How long does it take to assemble the bench, was it difficult?

Took forever. Parts were defective. Calling customer service took even more patience... once assembled decent bench.

It's been awhile since I put mine together, but I would guess 30-40 minutes. I don't think the worded instructions were very comprehensive but the pictures were very helpful in assembly.

It shouldn't take more than 20 minutes, there are not very many separate parts but the box mine came in was a bit banged up and some of the bolts were missing to I had to used different ones and you will need allen wrenches to assemble it.

Not hard, but VERY time consuming. It took me about four hours working at a comfortable, steady pace and really studying the assembly diagrams. I have to give KidCraft credit for the instructions. One step at a time, very simple but obvious diagrams, usually only one or two different screw/other types involved for each step (so each diagram was not overly complicated), but you will repeat that step two or four times per the 43 diagrams - so you can see how it adds up in time. And despite paying very careful attention, I still somehow managed to miss attaching two less relevant pieces which, with just a little loosening up on targeted screws, I was able to push them into place.

The machine come with all of the parts and a tool to put it together. I would say that it took me about 2 to 2 1/2 hours to put it together. The directions come with written instructions and a picture. There is a video that you can watch but I just followed the booklet. It says that assembly requires two people but I managed alone. I have put together other things before including furniture. I hope this was of help to you.

The assembly takes about 40 minutes. Having two people works better. Take your time assembling it and it will be solid. We were impressed with the quality of a do-it-yourself furniture assembly.

My husband put it together. He didn't seem to have any trouble except at one point he put one of the side panels upside down. Took him about 30 minutes.

Joy, I had my son & his girlfriend put it together & she did most of the detail work, they said it was little difficult but they got it done in 3 hours. It is a nice Elliptical, hope this helps.

It was not already assembled. Think it might have required a screwdriver and agree mostly tightening, although I myself did not actually put it together. 30 minutes from start to finish though.

I think an hour at most. That is probably a really high estimate. It was straight forward to assemble

oh no, once it's together you are not going to want to take it apart. I wouldn't say it's a hard assembly, but it's certainly not fast. It takes a couple hours to assemble.

Yes, it took about 30 minutes to an hour for me and my grandson to put it together.

Out of the box to assembly took about 10 minutes. After the first-time-set-up fumbling around, it will take you about 5 minutes or less to assemble.

My husband assembled the desk and did not find it difficult but he is very handy. I believe it was assembled in a little over an hour. Husband read directions first.

It takes about an hour to put it together. It does require 2 people in my opinion. It wasn't that hard to do, I would be careful with the top of the table, I put it together on carpet to make sure I didn't damage the top.

Assembly is required. It took the two of us ~1 hour to do it. It's worth the effort, though. One caveat: don't worry about the safety hinges...they are too strong and won't allow you to close the bench. We just left them off...

I stained and finished before assembling, of course, but the actual assembly was only about 30-45 minutes. It was also easy and very straightforward. Directions were excellent.

It can be assembled by one person. It took me about 2 hours to leisurely assemble.

Putting together one of the bench by hand took me an hour. However, when I used a drill and socket set, it took 15 minutes. Just put the speed on low. You will warp the PVC if you keep on turning. It was fairly easy for myself to do as a beginner DIY guy.
