how difficult is assembly?

I assembled it by myself without any problems in about 1/2 hr. It's heavy but really sturdy. My friends love it.

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.

Assembly absolutely required. It took my wife and I about 5h over a distributed period to get it all together (frequently interrupted by young kids =)). Was it difficult? Not particularly, the instructions are reasonably good. But there are fiddly parts.

Nope, but the assembly isn't hard. It took me maybe 15 minutes to put together, altogether.

I didn't assemble it. The person I bought it for assembled it. He didn't seem to think it was that hard. He was sitting in it shortly after he got it, so it must've been somewhat easy.

Not too hard. Took about half an hour. Certainly would be easier having some help. I did it by myself. I'm comfortable building things so doing it myself wasn't a stretch for me. If you've put together IKEA- type furniture, then this would be very similar.

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

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.

Assembly is required, but not too difficult following the instructions provided. Good luck!

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.

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.

It took about 30 minutes. Not complicate,but there are lots of screws and bolts.Good luck!

in my opinion: really easy. there is nothing you can't figure out on your own. instructions are clear enough. you need a pliers and couple screwdrivers. the hardest part is lifting the thing out of the box. they say 40 minutes -- i went slow and took longer. mainly i didn't want to injure my back. most anyone can assemble in an hour or so.

I had to assemble mine. I didn't think it was really very hard. It's worth the effort, I love mine.

Yes, very basic assembly, not difficult at all. Screwdrivers and a small mallet worked out fine. Item was assembled in a few minutes.

Not difficult at all. My husband put the machine together in fairly short amount of time. The motor is heavy,so be sure you place the machine where you want it, since its difficult to move. I made that mistake.

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