Assembly took just under an hour. It is helpful to have a cordless impact wrench - use a 13mm socket. But if you don’t have that, hand tools are included. In all, there were 42 screws I believe. Each part and hardware package is well-labeled, and the directions were clear without going into excessive detail. Once assembled, this rack fits *exactly* into a full-sized pickup truck! The large wheels help it roll well. Our VFW has just been stacking chairs against the wall, so this is a huge help for my local post. For the chairs we have, 8 fit per arm pair, and there are 6 pairs of arms, so 48 chairs if used only for chairs. For the tables we have, 3 fit on a side - but then you cannot put chairs on that side. We really wanted it for chairs, but the versatility is nice if we just want to put away a few tables and corresponding chairs. Sounds like we might need two more of these great racks!
