I put this island together by myself in about 3 hours. Instructions were clear, and all the bits were labeled. I am notorious for putting things together wrong, and having to go back and disassemble to correct my mistakes - I only did that once on this build, and it was an easy fix. Finished piece looks really nice, feels sturdy, and is generally much higher quality than I would have expected for the price. I'm REALLY happy with it, and would recommend it.
