Reviews seem split between those who think it’s hard to assemble and those who think it’s easy. I think it’s closer to easy than hard. I’m 73 years old and about average when it comes to putting something like this together. It took me 5 and a half hours to put it together by myself. My wife helped me when the unit needed to be turned over a few times during construction. A few tips. 1. Unpack and sort out all of the parts into small paper bowls. Count them to make sure that they’re all there. Then lay out all the pieces all over the room you are building the unit. Contrary to previous reviews, all of the parts are numbered. Then you’re ready to begin. The instructions are pretty clear but all pictures, no narrative. So, it is not hard to put together. It just takes time. BUT, the finished product is great! Love the look. Have a 85 inch tv hanging over it so the 79 inch width of the unit is perfect! It was well worth the time it took to put it together. Don’t be in a hurry to put it together and it will come out perfect!
