The whole process took a good 14 hours to put together over a 2 day period. It was myself and my husband. Came in 2 boxes, dont let the 1st box fool you the second box is heavy. I feel like the instructions where simple enough to follow. Its a solid piece for sure, looks great, very nice addition to our back porch, worth the money for sure.
It’s a great product and fairly simple to build. I put it together myself which I wouldn’t recommend but I am a contractor and I’ve done similar projects. Me doing it by myself moving at my own pace it took me a roughly a day and a half to build. Had I known it was metric I would’ve had an impact gun with metric sockets which would’ve made my job 20 times simpler. Overall I’m highly satisfied with the quality everything is straight and true. I would definitely buy this product again
