I was nervous about the assembly based on the other reviews. My husband and I put this together in about an hour and 15 minutes today. We both have a history with tools and puzzles, but it was a fun project! I gave this a 4 because we did have a few scuffs and nicks in the pieces, but the assembly was not as scary as the other reviews let me believe. Some tips below:
/ 2 person job, just because it helps to have someone line up the dowels and holes
/ lay your pieces out in number order beforehand
/ use power tools (we eavh had a drill) and turn the tension down, go slow. This is probably what all the time complaints were about!
Fun project!
