I am looking for an easy to assemble cart. I have a shoulder injury and my spouse just had back surgery. Can anyone tell me how difficult assembly is?

I assembled it by myself. I'll admit I would have liked a couple of extra hands to hold some pieces in place while I was screwing it together, but overall, it wasn't too bad. It took me a little over an hour to get it together. One of the drawer slides was on backwards (not my fault, it came that way, but was an easy fix). All in all, it was well worth it. I really love this.

The box itself is fairly heavy. Once it's opened the individual pieces were not bad. It took me under a hour to assemble it myself. Only the top and bottom pieces may be a bit much for you.

The assembly is not difficult, however under your circumstances you may want to enlist the help of someone else. There are several pieces that are heavy and it requires you to lift at times. For example, after you put the wheels on and to put the top on. I was able to do it by myself, but I am in good health with no back or shoulder issues.

It is a fairly simple assembly. My wife and I are in our middle 60's and I have a bad back and leg. We spent a little over an hour putting it together. About mid way through the assembly, we put it on top of our dinning room table to make it easier as I cannot stoop or kneel. I feel that if we could do it, anyone can. Make sure you read through the directions before starting and lay out all the parts as they are marked for your convenience. It is a beautiful piece and compliments our kitchen nicely.

Very quick and easy. My boyfriend barely needed me. I only had to hold the doors for him for screwing them in. It took 2 hours.

I've had a spinal fusion and two knee replacements. I put it together myself. The top piece is the heaviest will take two to lay it properly.

Just got mine recently. Took me and my wife 5 minutes to assemble. Pretty easy.

I work as a mechanic and have a bunch of tools. Not many are required from what I remember. But the purpose in my saying so is to point out that I am fairly handy to begin with. I also believe it requires 2 people to set it up. I did the entire thing myself. It is heavy to maneuver alone, but I'm the wannabe superman type. All in all I was done in about 1.5 hrs I believe and that's with me repairing a few sections of trim that were damaged during shipping. So maybe medium difficulty I would say.

I didn't assemble it. The person I bought it for assembled it. He didn't seem to think it was that hard. He was sitting in it shortly after he got it, so it must've been somewhat easy.

I also had a great deal of trouble with wheel assembly. Once together, I love the trolley, but putting it together was a bear!

I had to assemble mine. I didn't think it was really very hard. It's worth the effort, I love mine.

It's definitely not easy. The instructions are manufacturer blueprints, so there aren't any steps, it's kind of like a complimentary puzzle with your order. If you're ordering this item for an injured back, you'll definitely want help with assembly, the back piece hangs on the frame, it's heavy and awkward, and the pieces don't like to just for together.

the assembly wasn't bad, my son didn't have trouble putting it together. It is a very nice chest, I bought it for my grand daughter last Christmas, and her dad did the assembly alone. all he needed was a screw driver. Hope this helps

Oh K. Graig, I forgot to mention that the entire unit comes in one box and weights more than I thought it would. Using a dolly to get it upstairs damn-near killed me. Assembly took just over two hours by myself, and was not quite as bad as I thought it would be -I'm not much on putting stuff together, so it may not be a hard task for you.

A lot of assembly is required. If it wasn't for my very handy husband, I could never do it on my own and I can follow basic instructions on easy furniture assembly.

We actually thought assembly was a pain. It seems like they could have done some of the legwork for you or manufactured it in a way that would have made it simpler to assemble. I suppose that is why it is so inexpensive! I would rate it more annoying to assemble than Ikea stuff. After it was assembled, it's a great little car though!

To me it was hard I am a female who enjoys putting things together but I needed help with someone who has a bike tool set. If you are going to assemble yourself I suggest a bike tool set. Personally I would pay to hAve it assembled if you can't find anyone to help you. This is a great buy I love this bike.

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.

All I can say is this cart was very hard to put together. It took my friend numerous attempts and much frustration. I think the manufacturer needs to simplify the process.

Thank you Chris. Do you know if I can find help from Walmart or any other handy store? I am relatively new in Fort Wayne, IN and don't have any friend to call upon. I am willing to pay for the assembling.

I actually purchased this as a gift for my mother-in-law, so I'm not sure how to best anwser your question. I did assembly the cart and it was sturdy, but not extremely heavy - I could easily handle carrying it upstairs without any assistance. Hope that helps.

The other comment is incorrect, it does come mostly assembled, but the wheels are not assembled. They come in a separate bag and you have to push them on - which is also why they pop off so easily when you're using the cart.
