How would you rate putting this together for 1 person to do?

Not difficult, just requires patience and actually reading the instructions... Which I usually skip.... Took me an hour to do it.

It wasn't hard to put together, but I was disappointed that it was all made of MDF. It's really heavy.

Sorry, I wouldn't know, I had my go-to guy put it together and he did a fine job.

I put it together myself but you will need someone to help put upper half on the lower half. I did put lower and upper together in the area that I wanted to be. I really love it,

It's not to bad. laying out all the hardware and pieces first to get an idea where everything go's is a good idea. The instructions aren't very good but you'll get the basic idea on how they want it assembled. An electric screw driver is very handy.

My wife put our together so strength isn't an issue (she's small and doesn't work out or anything). There are a lot of parts so attention to details is important. Didn't seem too hard so long as you follow the directions.

We did assemble this by ourselves. It does help to have two people do it. It would also depend on your skills. We are DIY type of people. I would say according to the scale posted by someone below, I would give it a 5.

You have to build it yourself. It's not hard just needs two people. Put it together on an hour

There is some minor assembly but nothing too difficult. If you're comfortable reading and following directions you will be fine. If not ask a friend to help.

you have to assemble it yourself, its best if you have someone to help unless you are very good at assembling awkward things (i did it alone).

Not really. I put it together myself, having someone to help would have been nice. Took a couple of hours. I was taking my time to make sure I got the pieces in the right places the first time and wouldn't have to redo anything.

Most of it can be assembled with one person. The second person is really helpful in holding the shelves when attaching the shelves to the back brace.

Its very simple to do. It takes about two hours and can be done by one person but it is a little easier if you have an extra hand around for some assembly help.

My brother put it together so I am not sure how much assembly he had to do bur I dont think it needed much. Leigh

The box is heavy and big, but i cant remember how heavy. We took the pieces out of the box and carried them upstairs to put it together. It is not that hard to put together, but there are many parts. If you take your time so you get it right the first time, allocate 2-3 hours if you are doing it alone and are only using the little manual wrench they give you. It is easier to put together if you have 2 people, but you only need the second person for a very small part of the assembly. If you can balance one of the ends against something while assembling, you can do it yourself.

My BF and I assembled it, and we used the tools provided. The only other item you might want is the WD-40 that most other people seem to recommend. We didn't have any around the house so we didn't use any while putting everything together. It seems like a million pieces when you open the box and spread the contents on the floor, but if you follow the directions and look at the pictures you should be able to figure it out. Be prepared to spend about 2-3 hours assembling it. There were a few hiccups along the way trying to get some parts to fit together, but we figured it out.

Take your time and study the parts a bit before starting. There are some gotchas possible but I was able to put it together in about 30 minutes.

Oh K. Graig, I forgot to mention that the entire unit comes in one box and weights more than I thought it would. Using a dolly to get it upstairs damn-near killed me. Assembly took just over two hours by myself, and was not quite as bad as I thought it would be -I'm not much on putting stuff together, so it may not be a hard task for you.

I'm not sure that it can be done by one person.... It took two people about an hour and a half but only because we didn't follow instructions and had to go back a few times to redo a few thing... Take off protective plastic before final assembly

I put it together on my own very easily. You need a hammer a screwdriver pliers and a wrench. The directions were super easy to follow and I had it together in no time.
