How hard is it to erect? Can one person do it? Any special tools required?

Hi Melvin, You will need at least 2 people recommended for this. If you are going to bore holes then you would need a drill. Have a great day, Michael Fitzgerald Exclusive Home & Furniture Inc.

It's pretty easy, really. Just need to screw it into the base and screw in the legs. I think the legs was the hard part, but really wasn't bad. I think 2 people make it easier, but 1 person can probably do it on their own, as well (If I remember correctly).

Yes, it's fairly easy. Give yourself an hour the first time you set it up, putting the pole together is a little tricky, but once you've done it once, it's easy, I'd suggest practicing at home first. I set it up alone, but I'm tall, so I'd recommend at least one other person to help out.

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.

Yes it can be set up by one person. It gets easier each time. It can be heavy for the ladies. And watch out for wind, it must be weighted or tied down.

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

It wasn't hard. I did it by myself (61 yr old healthy male). The one step where another pair of hands would be helpful is slidiing the backrest onto the brackets, and it took a couple of tries to get it oriented properly. Some things the directions tell you to put together come already assembled, so that's nice. The diagrams could be more clear or more zoomed in.

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

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..

No, it's not hard at all. If I can do it, anyone can! I am not mechanical at all.

oh goodness, very easy....unless you cannot lift much at all...one other person to steady the other side can be useful, but in my case, I was the other person, my husband put it in ...I was just the safety factor...it took very little time. If you never do anything like that in your home, don't know what to suggest, but hiring someone seems over the top to me.

Yes, one person can do it. But of course it is easier if you have a little help.

No, it is quite easy. simple hand tools are all that are required (screwdriver, pliers, etc)

Not hard at all. I know someone who drilled two holes in the bottom to secure it to the floor. You just need the correct drill bit.

You need the basic tools. Screwdrivers and hammer. Can be done by one person. Will probably take an hour. The product quality is quite good though.

It's not hard to put together, but you will need help towards the end. The only tool needed is a Phillips screwdriver.

Not easy at all. Have You Tube right next to you. It can be done in several hours.
