I'm a 72-year-old female and didn't have any trouble putting the cart together, although my box had instructions included. After assembling, I was afraid the front wheels wouldn't turn as described online. But after reading another review, they said just to loosen the front assembly a little. Ta-da! That worked. My only worry--and the reason I deducted one star--is that I am disabled and must be very careful getting on the cart, and more worrisome is getting off because it rolls very easily. If it only had a break to hold it still, this would be a perfect gardening tool. I bought a couple door-stops, but it's hard to reach around to the wheel to push them under.
