Everyone says that it needs 2 people but I did it myself. It is challenging to hold 6 bars together with a screw, washer, and nut but not that bad once you get the hang of it. Some of the parts have holes in them, make sure they line up before or you'll have to redo those parts later like I did, instructions were missing a step or 2 but not too bad. Used a drill with an allen wrench adapter for final tighten and it's great.
