How much assembly is involved with this. Is it difficult? I am a single 65 year old woman. Could I do it?

it is completely disassembled so you would be starting from scratch, and the box is extremly heavy...this should be done with a helper, it would be much easier.

The whole cabinet needs to be assembled! Every shelf - I did not find it very easy and the quality is poor! One of the shelves broke while I was building it... And because I already threw the box out... When I wanted to return it... They would not take it back because I did not have the original box. I would not recommend this product at all!

Agreed! I'm a fairly handy 40-year old woman and I was able to do almost all of it myself, but there were a few times that I needed another set of hands to help position, etc.

Have to agree with the other 2 responses. You might want to hire a handy-man or get someone to help you put it together.

The assembly is straightforward but it does come in many parts. I am pretty handy and it took me about 90 minutes to assemble it. Since it is made of particle board it is heavy. I would recommend you get some help with it.

Dear C Skormin: If you are mechanically inclined, can understand directions and have patience, you should be able to assemble this stand. My husband put it together in 2-1/2 hours, but he is a perfectionist and part of that time was spent unpacking and looking over each piece for damage, scratches, etc. (there wasn't any). So, I think you could do it, and I don't think your age has anything to do with it. If you do it right, it's a beautiful piece and I think you'll be very happy with it. Good luck!

I'm a lady and didn't have any trouble putting it together by myself. Several reviews said it was really difficult to assemble and the directions were poor, but I didn't have any trouble. I did pay attention to the pictures though. I don't see why it wouldn't be a good machine for a 50-something woman to use. You can adjust the resistence to accomodate your strength level.

No. Just follow directions. It isn't hard to assemble. Could use an extra hand. Took my son and husband @ 2 or more hours. The family loves it. Well worth the few hours of assembly time.

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.

Yes, assembly is required. There are a lot of parts as I recall, but if you follow the instructions well, it will come together nicely. I like mine.

I hired a handyman and it took him 2 hours to assemble. He didn't provide any negative feedback about assembly, his only comment was that the assembled item is very heavy and difficult to move around.

Assembly is required. And one part of the assembly requires two people, so say the instructions. However I was able to manage that part by myself even with a bad back. It took me a couple of hours.

Carol S., No it is not hard to assemble. If I remember correctly, I looked at the picture on the box to see how to assemble it.

You will need tools to assemble it. fortunately assembly is easy. I only spent 10min or less to assemble it.

Not difficult, but you do need 2 people for certain parts as it is long and heavy. Get everything together loosely and then tighten it up

It depends on how strong you are, lol. It is pretty heavy, so I personally wouldn't suggest it... And it will take an hour or two to assemble ;)

It's partially assembled. It took me about an hour to complete installation. I'm 74 and did it alone so I don't consider it to difficult.

Hi, it's very easy to assemble. I believe the only tools required were a screwdriver and a hammer. Did not take nire than 25 minutes to put together by myself.

It's not that difficult. Instructions are clear. Try it yourself first. You can get anyone to assemble it if you struggle.

No, I'm afraid not. It took me approximately 4 hours to assemble (admittedly after a tiring day), but should take substantially less time if you have an assistant. However, it works and looks terrific upon completion.

Not very difficult. My wife and I did it in about 1 hour. Just be careful that all the screw holes are correct and inline. We did a little surgery on one and that added to the time of assembly. Apart from that. No sweat..
