We are seniors with no carpentry knowledge or experience. Is this the project for us or should we line up an experienced person to put this together?

This came pretty much assembled. We just had to put the glass shelves in (with the space we desired in between each shelf). We loved how low maintenance was. You may need someone to help you get it out of the box (because it is tall and a little awkward).

We also are seniors. They deliver it and open the box and put it where you want it. Everything is in place as is with the exception of the glass...which is individually wrapped....All you do is slide the glass into the proper grove...Very simple...It looks lovely with the mirror in the back reflecting all the glassware...Very pleased with this cabinet.

If i recall correctly it came almost fully assembled. Not a problem at all.

I think it can be done . I am a senior and did it just follow the directions . not too difficult

It was completely assembled as I recall. It is large, so may be hard to get out of packaging. My daughter and I did it with no problems.

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.

Nope, I just stood there and looked pretty while he did all the work. He said it wasn't hard to assemble at all. Good luck!

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.

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.

My husband and I didn't have any troubles putting it together and got it done within an hour. But maybe that's because he is a mechanic and loves putting things together! So I guess I'm not sure how to answer your question...I'm sure it is different for everyone. Maybe your son-in-law can get an extra hand in helping him assemble it? I do recommend this item over all the other ones I have researched (for the price)

No. The assembly instructions are pretty clear though, and I am not the most mechanically apt guy. You'll be OKAY, or someone you know who has used any basic hand tools will do fine as well. By the way, the product is good and sturdy, well made, and a great price.

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.

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 too hard. Took about half an hour. Certainly would be easier having some help. I did it by myself. I'm comfortable building things so doing it myself wasn't a stretch for me. If you've put together IKEA- type furniture, then this would be very similar.

Michael, I don't know. Do you have any friends who can help you? My husband and I put ours together. Sorry I couldn't help.

You will need someone to help. The top section comes in one box and the bottom in another. You essentially have to put everything together ... from attaching the structural pieces together down to assembling the drawers and attaching the metal handles. Its a great piece but it is somewhat time consuming to assemble. Its fairly straight-forward as each big piece has a sticker with a letter on it and the hardware comes together without much force. I do recommend the product but, like I said, you will need someone to help you with assembly and even moving the boxes into your house when they arrive. You will need someone to help.

If you have never put anything together before, you might want to ask somebody to help you. The directions are there.......but do you have the tools needed.....screw drivers, etc.Good luck.

It was a gift for my great grandson and his dad did the assembly work, but I don't think there is any real work involved; it's mostly one large section, and looks like the other pieces just snap in without tools.

Yes it is appropriate, i would suggest doing it with more than one person. There is a lot of instructions and parts.

I'm a 62 year old woman and put it together all by myself. All necessary tools come in the box. There are many parts. I was overwhelmed at first but once I laid everything out I became determined to put it together. If you can follow instructions then you can put it together yourself. Of course if you can find someone to help you it would be ideal because it's very heavy. You don't need any extra tools. Good luck.

My BF and I assembled it, and we used the tools provided. The only other item you might want is the WD-40 that most other people seem to recommend. We didn't have any around the house so we didn't use any while putting everything together. It seems like a million pieces when you open the box and spread the contents on the floor, but if you follow the directions and look at the pictures you should be able to figure it out. Be prepared to spend about 2-3 hours assembling it. There were a few hiccups along the way trying to get some parts to fit together, but we figured it out.
