How difficult is this for one person to assemble?

It was actually fairly easy. The top, curved section, is assembled first. Once that is completed, you lay it on its side and attach the side sections to it. Then simply stand the structure up!

Not difficult to assemble if you are even marginally handy. Be sure to assemble close to install point as carrying the arch alone was awkward. I used a rubber mallet for driving the stakes in the ground and bent the metal a little. Also measure and mark the spot of install ahead b/c the side can flex inward instead of staying perpendicular to the ground if the stakes are too close. My arch was missing a cross bar that spans the top...didn't effect its function so I never followed up.

My family works as a team putting things together. I am sure that it was simple. I bought this more than 3 years ago and it is still in nice shape.

I have a clever husband, he put it together in a half hour. It looks really good, we were surprised by the weight/quality of the material and the size it was just perfect for our needs.

It takes a little bit of balancing to get the shelves started, but it can be assembled by one person. I did it myself.

It must be "assembled" but it is extremely simple to do and will take you all of two minutes. A child could do it.

nope, but it's not very difficult to assemble. you have to makes sure you match up the pieces right or it will seem like it was not welded correctly.

No, you have to assemble. It is not hard as long as you have proper tools and follow instructions.

in my opinion: really easy. there is nothing you can't figure out on your own. instructions are clear enough. you need a pliers and couple screwdrivers. the hardest part is lifting the thing out of the box. they say 40 minutes -- i went slow and took longer. mainly i didn't want to injure my back. most anyone can assemble in an hour or so.

I hired a handyman and it took him 2 hours to assemble. He didn't provide any negative feedback about assembly, his only comment was that the assembled item is very heavy and difficult to move around.

The box is heavy and big, but i cant remember how heavy. We took the pieces out of the box and carried them upstairs to put it together. It is not that hard to put together, but there are many parts. If you take your time so you get it right the first time, allocate 2-3 hours if you are doing it alone and are only using the little manual wrench they give you. It is easier to put together if you have 2 people, but you only need the second person for a very small part of the assembly. If you can balance one of the ends against something while assembling, you can do it yourself.

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.

Took me roughly 30 minutes to assemble. Would be a lot easier if 2 people were to assemble it.

It takes about 15-20 minutes to assemble, very easy. Instructions not easy to read, but it's not hard to figure out what goes where.

Assembly is not difficult -- it is easier with 2 people, but it can be done by one person. I recommend reading the instructions carefully. If you follow the directions, you should not have any problems.

you must assemble it but it is not hard. I did it myself and usually I leave those types of things to the hubby.

Not difficult to assemble. It's good for 4 but tight. I coated mine with polyurethane varnish after assembly because it's soft wood and not really well weather proofed. It has held up very well in the past two years. It is light weight but a great price. I have 4 of them.

You have to build it yourself. It's not hard just needs two people. Put it together on an hour

It's better with two people. But it is possible for one person to assemble.

No. Just follow directions. It isn't hard to assemble. Could use an extra hand. Took my son and husband @ 2 or more hours. The family loves it. Well worth the few hours of assembly time.
