How long did it take you to assemble the shed? Would you characterize it as difficult to put together for a regular person?

I hired a handyman, took a few hours..didnt seem hard at all........he did have his son with him, who was minimal assist, but an extra pair of hands.........looks pretty simple, and everyone likes it.

I think it took me about 10 hours (over several days). Depending on what you mean by "a regular person" it might be very difficult - for one person. Two people would definitely be recommended. I did it by myself; I am a 58 year old woman, and found it somewhat challenging. A helper would have made it easier.

We were putting it in a school garden along with some landscaping work we were having done, so the landscaping co. actually assembled it for us for a fee. It took 3 guys about an hour to put it together.

I didn't do it non-stop, but was working on other projects at the same time and avoided really hot times. It could probably be done in half a day. You want a second person available to assist at times. The instructions are really poor, not telling or showing orientation of boards that are not square but orientation does make a difference. Also several boards are so warped I would lay them on a deck with weight on them for a day or two to straighten then out some. Extremely poor quality wood.

You keep sending me questions about this shed. IT never arrived. Please don't ask any more.

Not at all easy unless you are a carpenter. I upgraded all of the hardware to start and then had a contractor friend add braces, etc to even make this work. I spent three days dealing with it and right now would say to save your money.

I would say the desk is not difficult to assemble if you follow the directions carefully and observe the diagrams. I am not the mechanically gifted person and it took about 45 minutes or so to put it together. The direction were well written and fairly simple to follow. Tools are provided with the desk.

The shed could possibly be unassembled and moved but you would have to be very careful and it would probably take more time to unassembled it than it took to assemble it. We have been very satisfied with this purchase.

I actually called my brother in law to assemble it and it took 15 minutes for him and if I had better reading abilities (my vision is affected by a prior stroke I had) I believe I could have accomplished in in very little time myself. Its bulky and it does require turning it on its sides, but it is a simple process and the directions are very lear (according to my sister and brother in law). ten screws to attach four things (wheels, handles and panel)It was the bulkiness of it and the weight that had me calling my brother in law for help more than anything. so yes I think the average mperson could assemble it.

My husband put it together with a few basic tools in about an hour. He is pretty handy. I think the average person could do it.

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.

Not terribly hard. Takes some time. Expect to spend between 45-75 minutes, depending on your skill level. You have to build the drawers. Not hard either. It's heavy too. Takes 2 people to move. Overall take your time to avoid mistakes.

I'm actually quite pleased with this shed even though it comes in many pieces. If you buy anything 3-D now a day you essentially become an assembler, so while this shed has many pieces, they do all fit together. Instructions are a tad complicated, but the idea is starting "squared". So one easy way to do so is starting with a square floor. I affixed the floor framing onto pressure treated 2xs (sitting on dirt ground) as that provided me a way to more easily square all corners. Until you do that, jumping to assembly will just give you headaches as all the predrilled holes will not align and your experience will include increasing aggravation. Good luck.

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.

It is SOOOO easy! I am an all-thumbs person with virtually no mechanical ability, and I was able to put it together in 20 minutes. Had my husband been doing it, it would have taken 10. Go for it!

A lot! My son put it together and he is quite handy. It took hours! It looks nice but not easy to assemble.

How long it takes depends on how good you are at "this" kind of thing. It is not easy - it is not especially difficult. If you follow the directions and are relatively strong - it's not a problem. I would recommend that you assemble it where you are going to use it as it is rather heavy. We didn't have to use any special tools - I can't remember if they came with it, but there was nothing uncommon that we needed to go out and buy.

I think an hour at most. That is probably a really high estimate. It was straight forward to assemble

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.

No. I like to think Im pretty good at assembling things like this. This was quiet a challenge so be prepared to spend at least a few hours on it.

I would say putting this together took a skill level of about a 5. It was not difficult and the directions were easy to use. We were not missing any parts. And you only needed standard tools (screw drivers, hammer) to put it together. It took about 2.5 to 3 hours to put it together.

Its fairly easy to put together for a regular do it yourselfer.....Took me about 1 and a half hours. Be aware that some parts might be a little snug to fit easily though. I would recommend not to tighten all the shelf bolts to hard untill everyhing is put together, that way assembly may go much easier.
