is the assembly difficult?

Don't touch this piece of garbage. My first one was shipped with the wrong parts. Customer support was terrible. Sent it back. The second one was used with soot and food on it and looked like it was packed by a bunch of drunken sailors. Sent it back and created a nick stick with Amazon. The third one arrived in less than 24 hours and the stainless steel finish was so bad it did not sufficiently cover the grey / black welds for the main shroud. Amazon cost me thousands of dollars of lost time and gave me a $10 gift card. To answer your question - after 3 tries I truthfully never had a chance to complete assembly, but it did not look difficult. I wish you better luck than me. Don't touch this piece of garbage.

David, The assembly was not difficult. Fairly straight forward with good instructions. Customer service is excellent. Had a problem with the valve and they promptly sent out a replacement. I would definitely buy Fire Sense products again. Tom

Yes, assembly is required. It took me between 3 and 4 hours, and I did almost all of it by myself. A friend helped me with one of the electronic connections that for some reason I was not hooking up correctly. I would say, that I am a person that can follow directions, but am not super handy at this sort of thing, but was able to do it. I just took my time and followed the directions exactly.

There is some assembly required. My facilities engineers and IT folks took care of it...appeared to be easy.

Not hard. Am a 60 yr old woman, and did it all by myself, directions were very easy to follow. The only issue was one misaligned screw hole that I mentioned in my review. I had to drill a new hole so the screw would go in correctly. Overall it took less than an hour to assemble. Have fun!Aron

No. It's not difficult to assemble though. Hardest part was moving the heavy box.

No, but the instructions are great and it is not hard to assemble. My wife and I assembled it in about 45 minutes. We are both 65 years old.

Yes, assembly is required. It is not a difficult process, but since it is primarily sheet metal, some of the edges have been tweaked somewhat. It helps if you have a larger pair of pliers or channel locks to help get the tweaked metal back into position; not difficult but needs to be done.

Yes, Assembly is required and it is quite heavy. Very sturdy. You will need help. My husband and I put it together in about 2 hours. Hope this helps :)

Not difficult at all to assemble. The directions are easy to follow. You may need two individuals for pedal assembly. Read the instructions prior to starting the assembly.

No, you have to assemble. It is not hard as long as you have proper tools and follow instructions.

No, it is not hard to assemble. All you have to do is attach the lamp shade bracket, add an incandescent 40 - 60 watt light bulb, attach the shade, and you're good to go!

My husband assembled it, don't think it was difficult, just takes a while. Just make sure you have all the right tools & you should be fine. I don't have instructions, if not I would pass them down to you. You won't be sorry if you buy this piece, looks great for the price!

Assembly is not difficult -- it is easier with 2 people, but it can be done by one person. I recommend reading the instructions carefully. If you follow the directions, you should not have any problems.

Yes, if you can follow directions, it is easy to assemble. It took me 3 to 4 hours. I had to call the help desk with a question, and they were very easy to work with and gave me the answer quickly.

Yes, it requires assembly buts it's worth it. Someone wrote very detailed instructions in a review that was more helpful than the actual instructions.
