How hard is this to put together? I hate if too many parts, and time intensive. Do you think I can sit at it, for makeup or sewing?

Very easy to put together. You only have to screw the four legs in and screw the knob on the drawer.The front two legs are close together so sitting at the table wouldn't be easy. Also, the table top scratches easily...the wood is very soft.

It was east to put together - just had to attach the legs. It may be too small for sewing, but may work for makeup. I use it as an entryway table.

Super easy to put together. As far as a vanity or sewing, MAYBE for make-up, but definitely not for sewing. The table is adorable but it's really more of a "put something on it and let it sit and look pretty in the entry or hallway". It's not sturdy enough to really support much. It would be way too small to sew on even if it was sturdier. So, it's great if you want a cute little decorative table, but not as a work table

I was not hard to put together at all, just attach the legs and you are done. As far as the use of the table it is more to put things on that are for show and not too heavy. I would not recommend it for sewing. It might work for make up. Enjoy your table :-)

Also, please be aware - this piece requires A LOT of assembly. If you're by yourself, allow about 4 hours.

You definitely have to put it together. It's not that hard. I really like it.

It took maybe 20-30 minutes for me to assemble it but I will add that I'm not mechanically inclined so putting things together isn't what 'this girl does'! With regard to it's portability, chances are you wouldn't have much of a problem taking it apart due to it's ease of assembly.

Hi! I really don't remember? But it wasn't hard!! I think there was no assembly......only adjusting your table drop for the sewing machine! It is an amazing table! I love mine! It takes up no space! It fols down for easy storage if you need to make it disappear! It makes a lovely side table in a guest/sewing room when covered with a pretty table cloth!! I am a bit disabled and I had no problems with it at all!!! You can't go wrong with this table!

Not terribly hard. Takes some time. Expect to spend between 45-75 minutes, depending on your skill level. You have to build the drawers. Not hard either. It's heavy too. Takes 2 people to move. Overall take your time to avoid mistakes.

took me a few hours to assemble. other users said they did it with their 4-year-olds, and i agree that it could be a nice parent-child project. i agree with some of the other reviewers that it may be too big for some children.ellen h

It comes in pieces. Some bigger sections are already put together but there are a fair amount of pieces. But take your time and you will be able to do it. My wife and I assembled it in about 4 hours and neither one of us are particularly "handy".

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.

There is a lot of assembly. Very heavy too. The top is scratched up but tv covers that. Doors were hard to align. Looks very nice when finished as others have mentioned/need two people to move into place once assembled. If possible - assemble in same room. May be worthwhile to purchase an item already put together and pay for delivery due to the problems mentioned.

There is a fair amount of assembly that will take you some time, but it is not too bad considering the size of the unit. The piece is so nice that it is well worth the effort. We have been very happy with it. Since it is real wood, it is heavy. I would suggest putting it together near where it will sit.

very complicated to assemble. be sure you have no distractions and plenty of time and patience. directions are a must !! they need to make it less complicated !!

Oh yeah, you will be fine...it's got most of the tools you will need, although they are kinda hard on your hands, but they are at least included...it really wasn't hard, just took some time and patience...the thing to remember with it is to keep looking at the picture of it assembled, as the directions are a bit hazy on one small section of the construction...good luck!

There is a lot of time at least with meAssembling piece of furniture. Remember to wear gloves at all timesas there is a lot of pieces of the unitmade with compressed wood. It's prettyNice however when assembled but doesRequire some work

Not difficult to assemble. It's good for 4 but tight. I coated mine with polyurethane varnish after assembly because it's soft wood and not really well weather proofed. It has held up very well in the past two years. It is light weight but a great price. I have 4 of them.

Jeremiah, Sad to say, I haven't begun assembly of my computer desk. From the appearance of the shipping boxes, it appears that the main top is in two distinct pieces. I have never had difficulties assembling a unit suchas the computer desk. This will be a sizeable task and I know from experience it will take plenty of patience. Sorry I can't give you more info on the assembly. Please don't let assembly questions keep you from the desk.I have seen similar desks and this particular desk should be a good one. Best of luck.....go for it!
