I would say putting this together is a two man job. The directions were not the best, but it was pretty easy to figure it out. Some of the connectors did not go in the smoothest, but over all, it was pretty easy. An 8x10 vinyl banner sags noticeably in the middle. I am going to try to get a wooden dowel to prop it up. It just creates a wave in the middle that is not that big, but annoys nevertheless.
