Very easy to assemble however it is rather heavy ,which is good , and unless you are strong it inventive you would be wise to have help

It takes a little fore thought. Find the instruction booklet and read thru it. Unpack all parts and make sure you know which part goes where. Now it is time to remove the bolts holding the bed to the pallet. If you want to lighten the load by removing the headstock/motor assembly you have to remove a stop from the end of the bed (one on each end of the bed). Now is the time to set the bed up on something (saw horses) high enough to get the legs under each end. Be careful it is a heavy tool.

Very easy, if you have a way to lift it. The legs are sturdy castings that bolt to the bed with 4 SHC screws. If you remove the headstock/motor assembly, then it is more manageable. There really isn't much to it. One very important note.....the spindle has a faceplate installed on it with a set screw in it that must be loosened before unscrewing it from the spindle. Many folks, including me have managed to mar the spindle threads on a brand new tool not realizing this.

Anybody with a strong back and a little bit of mechanical knowledge can put it together easily. Even by yourself. It's much easier with two people but I did mine by myself.

Out of all the tools and in my shop this has to be one of the easiest ones to put together.The directions are straightforward. It would be better for two people to put together but I did just by myself.A tool cart was just the right height to move the base onto the legs.If you put models together as a kid this thing is know problem.

Simple to assemble, but is very heavy....I used a hoist....a strong friend would work

It was pretty easy. The instruction pdf they publish is pretty good and there are a number of youtube videos that also walk you through the process. Watch a couple of different videos and read through the pdf and you should be good to go. If you have average mechanical skills you'll be OK. Only standard hand tools needed, nothing fancy or exotic for de-assembly and assembly. Took me about an hour. Would have been quicker but when I was done there was a part left over on the workbench that shouldn't have been left over so I got to practice parts of it twice ;-)

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.

If someone is handy, it's no too bad. If you are not good at assembly it will be a challenge

I would say it is fairly easy. My husband is not a handyman and he and I put 2 sets together in 3 hours. It may be quicker for you! You need a drill. you can assemble alone, but much easier if you have 2 people.

It's not difficult but it helps if you are a bit handy....you can definitely put it together, but as others stated - follow the directions! It looks just like a "locker" and a good price!

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 hard if you have basic tools. Few parts but lots of screws and some time to figure it out. Allow a couple hours.

This is not difficult to assemble. Will take 5-10 min depending on how handy you are.

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 ;)

Not difficult at all. If you've ever put together Ikea bookcases/shelves before you will find that this one is a bit easier because there weren't as many small parts. Instructions are clear as well.

It was not difficult to assemble. It requires no tools and all the holes are pre-drilled.Make sure that you follow the instructions as written, and do not lose any pieces. Only some of the pieces come with extra.

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

My husband assembled it in less than 5 minutes; didn't mention having any difficulties with anything. Most of it was already in place. He had a couple of tools handy, but I don't think he needed any for snapping things into place according to the directions.

The assembly is not difficult, however under your circumstances you may want to enlist the help of someone else. There are several pieces that are heavy and it requires you to lift at times. For example, after you put the wheels on and to put the top on. I was able to do it by myself, but I am in good health with no back or shoulder issues.

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.
