Was this item difficult to assemble? How long did it take to put the pieces together?

No , it wasn't to bad 30 to 45 minutes. The only thing is you have to drill a hole for the door knob. :) I love my floor cabinet!!!

I sat in a quiet house made sure no one bothered me and I got it done in about an hour or so!

It was easy to assemble. Only one glitch because the instructions could have been clearer on this point: when you lay out the front panel, make sure the two slats on either side of the front panel are FLUSH with the that panel so that the entire surface--slat-panel-slat--is flush all the way across. The way the instructions read, you might think that they are calling for the slats to be flush with sides of the front panel, but they need to be flush with both sides AND the top. Rearrange the slats until that is achieved. Otherwise, assembly easy, and the piece really does look very nice.

It was not difficult. Maybe 30 minutes. The only thing I didn't expect was that you have to drill a hole for the handle

It took less then a hour. I thought it was very easy. I have never put something like this together before and it was easy.HAVE A GREAT DAY, Denise

I had no problem putting it together. There was an awkward screw that took me a few times in hanging the door, but only because I wanted it to open to the right and had to use my left hand to get it in. I was done in about 45 minutes, except for the doorknob. I didn't own a drill, which you need for just finishing the hole on the door. It all looks/works great now!

The item was relatively simple to assemble. I assembled it alone in about an hour.

My husband assembled the desk and did not find it difficult but he is very handy. I believe it was assembled in a little over an hour. Husband read directions first.

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.

The parts are packaged in a very organized fashion. It took my daughter and I about 3 hours, but it wasn't hard at all to assemble. I was being overly cautious. Hope this helps.

Large pieces. You'll needed pliers and a screw driver. I used a power tool. Put it together in about an hour. A second person would be helpful.

It took a long time to assemble. My husband is very handy.. he's remodeled several houses and he was not happy when he took all the pieces out of the box. NOTHING was put together. Had to assemble all drawers, etc. I will say that it looks GREAT when it's finished! I had the easy part of putting the clothes into the new dresser, so I like it. :-)

I assembled it (65 year old woman), but it took over 2 hours. Followed instructions and took my time. Was not too complicated and worked!

Not hard, but VERY time consuming. It took me about four hours working at a comfortable, steady pace and really studying the assembly diagrams. I have to give KidCraft credit for the instructions. One step at a time, very simple but obvious diagrams, usually only one or two different screw/other types involved for each step (so each diagram was not overly complicated), but you will repeat that step two or four times per the 43 diagrams - so you can see how it adds up in time. And despite paying very careful attention, I still somehow managed to miss attaching two less relevant pieces which, with just a little loosening up on targeted screws, I was able to push them into place.

The box is heavy and big, but i cant remember how heavy. We took the pieces out of the box and carried them upstairs to put it together. It is not that hard to put together, but there are many parts. If you take your time so you get it right the first time, allocate 2-3 hours if you are doing it alone and are only using the little manual wrench they give you. It is easier to put together if you have 2 people, but you only need the second person for a very small part of the assembly. If you can balance one of the ends against something while assembling, you can do it yourself.

I'm sorry,but I did not put it together. I had a friend do it. However, from what I understand from him, it wasn't hard at all.

It does not come assembled; however, it is not difficult to assemble. It comes with a tool with which to assemble it....takes about ten minutes.

It does come in alot of pieces. At first it was overwelming for me to sit and see all the parts but I took a deep breathe and followed the instructions - and little by little I put it together. I have to say I am 65 - so if I can do it - anyone can. One issue is that the instructions are all pictures - no specifics written instructions - to me made it harder than it had to be. But I did put it together in 2 afternoons - about 4 hours total

no, it is not difficult to assemble. Takes just a couple of minutes and it is pretty tall. I have them separate because it is too tall for the sapace I have.

I had no problem assembling it, anytime you have metal that has bends in it you sometimes have to put a little pressure on them to get the pieces to slip in together. My total time was about 15 minutes to assemble

Assembly was not too difficult. It's been awhile, but I think it took about 40 minutes. We really like this piece. It is solid and stylish.

Not hard to put together, but it does take time. Yes you must string each line off crystals. But it is so worth it. About 2 hours from box to complete.....enjoy.

It is not assembled but it was quite simple to put together. I would say it took me approximately a half an hour, I did it alone and I was really relaxed about the time... could have done it faster.
