How "easy to put together" is it really? Can you be specific as in how many pieces must be screwed together. I am 74 years old and not too agile.

I'm sorry I can't be of assistance. I'm 82 and I have a friend who is a handyman and he put it together for me. it is as beautiful as the picture and I like it a lot.

The holes for the points at which the sides are joined to the top are pre-drilled and are screwed in with the provided allen wrench. The decorative top slats and the four support pieces are assembled with wood screws (having a power screwdriver makes it much easier). The biggest challenge is the sequence for the assembly. If the instructions are followed and the arbor is assembled while on its side, it is really pretty easy. The arbor itself weighs about 42 lbs so standing it up after assembly is pretty easy.

There were about 8 pieces. The two sides and about 6 or 7 pieces on top. I did need my wife to help me put it together. A few of the assembly steps were a little awkward. You will find an electric drill or screwdriver handy.

I had no problem putting it together and I am 50 something...it does have quite a bit of resistance.

I wouldn't say it was difficult to assemble at all. The instructions were clear and parts were individually labeled. However, there are a lot of parts.... so it is definitely time consuming. Unpacking and assembly took approximately 2 - 3 hours. It's fairly heavy, so having a second person would be helpful at times.

Not sure why anyone complained about putting it together. It is very simple if you just follow the directions. Took my husband and I less than an hour.

I can't tell you how many pieces, but it went together fairly easy. when it comes to which screw to put where it was very explicit but trial and error lets you know if you have too short of a screw in the wrong place because it won't hold. Id take about 40 minutes to put together.

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.

I am a 60 yr old grandma and I put it together myself in 4 hours. It was very simple to assemble. All the nuts and bolts are the same size.

Not very difficult. My wife and I did it in about 1 hour. Just be careful that all the screw holes are correct and inline. We did a little surgery on one and that added to the time of assembly. Apart from that. No sweat..

My son who isn't the most experienced person in putting things together on his own put it together in an hour. It probably would have taken less but he has tremors and motor skill issues.so, I don't think it was too difficult.

The directions are all in picture form. You have to pay attention to the details and do things exactly in the order they suggest. I put mine together in about half an hour (I am a 58 year old woman with limited mechanical ability).

It does come in alot of pieces. At first it was overwelming for me to sit and see all the parts but I took a deep breathe and followed the instructions - and little by little I put it together. I have to say I am 65 - so if I can do it - anyone can. One issue is that the instructions are all pictures - no specifics written instructions - to me made it harder than it had to be. But I did put it together in 2 afternoons - about 4 hours total

I had no problem putting it together. I'm old, disabled and not the brightest bulb in the pack. I'm just a normal person and it was not hard to do.

It was not too hard. I followed the step by step directions. I did it over the course of 2 evenings. I think I spent less than 2 hours total. It is not to heavy or hard to fasten the pieces together either.

You must put it together, but it is so simple. Being a 67 year old female I put my grandson's together in less than 5 minutes by simply looking at the picture. Very easy to do.

It's not difficult. I don't remember how long it took. Once it's together, if you move it, you have to be sure everything is square. It's a little flimsy but works fine as long as it is assembled correctly.

It took my engineer husband 20 minutes, and unless you are very agile and follow instructions, it might be tricky. It is definately worth the trouble and needs no extra tools to assemble. It isn't heavy, just a little bulky.
