What sort of assembly is required? I'm trying to find a coat rack that can be frequently moved (don't ask) and disassembled/reassembled reasonably.

My grandchildren, ages 8 and 11, put mine together. Each section fits easily into well-crafted slots or threaded grooves. Pictorial directions require no tools or even reading. It's easy!I found no split wood on any of the pieces, but have known that other models have split from over-loading with heavy winter coats. This model is quite sturdy and well-balanced.

@Ryan - you would only have to hand screw a few long sections together that form the main trunk. You also hand screw the arms in their sockets as well. The legs are easily fastened (& unfastened) using an alan wrench. However, be aware that this products wood, although very nice when all put together, does have a tendency to split for some reason. I went thru two (2) racks that arrived with split wood. The first was very major and they sent a replacement. The second was minor so I patched it with wood filler and kept it. After some communication with the seller, I was informed that they have had many complaints about this item and that they were going to discontinue it. But its up to you. It does look very nice when all is said and done. Just don't expect it to be flawless. You could probably spend a few extra bucks and get a more reliable rack.

It was easy to put together. The main post screws together and the pegs screw in also. The legs slide into place. I would be a little hesitant to take the legs off and on as they may loosen over time.

I assembled this without looking at the instructions. It is simple and intuitive. It's nice looking and sturdy. But I have no idea if it will stand-up to assembly & re-assembly often.

Once you figure it out it is easily assembled. It's a really nice piece and well worth the price. It certainly be easily moved ANYWHERE but it is tall so you could just remove a piece to move it anywhere. You SHOULD buy it!

You must assemble it yourself. I found it easy to do as I have three of them. They are beautiful and sturdy.

No assembly required, it comes fully assembled. Had mine for about 1yr and I love it!

It has to be assembled, however that is not a head scratcher, no tools required just common sense.

Minimal assembly required; I think my husband needed one small screwdriver. It arrived mostly assembled and unfolded so that one or two of the shelves had to be attached to the unit.

In the original packaging and disassembled I'm sure the rack would transport well since it breaks down quite small. Completely assembled it is quite large and would be pretty cumbersome, especially if it had clothing on the racks.

The biggest challenge was to get that screw connected so it screwed on right. Make sure you have the right sequence of parts connecting to the base--the round metal piece is very important. I didn't really have a problem once I got the screw tight. Unfortunately, I'm in NY right now and the coat rack is in Florida so I can't look at it carefully.

yes, assembly is required. You'll need a lot of open space, time and extra parts not included to properly put this thing together.

It' assembled, but folded and in a zippered case. You just take it out of the case, open the legs, insert the removable shelf and it's ready to use - less than a minute. I use my for craft shows.

hardly any assembly required. It comes in 2 big pieces that you just slot together. no handyman needed!

Assembly is required. And it takes a while. When I received my boxes they were two different finishes so I had to wait until I got two of the same.

You have to assemble this one... not too difficult, but assembly is required...

The assembly is straightforward but it does come in many parts. I am pretty handy and it took me about 90 minutes to assemble it. Since it is made of particle board it is heavy. I would recommend you get some help with it.

The bookcase listed does require assembly,but for the most part, it is well laid out in the Owners manual. The exception was the door hinge holes needed some rework but wasn't that difficult.

I did not assemble my unit myself. So I do not know the answer. My friend did it for me because it arrived while I was gone. He said it was very simple. But simple can be a relative term. I do know that the rack on one side is meant to be lower than the rack on the other side. They are not the same height, in case that is hopeful.

Minimal assembly required. I think it may have just been adding legs and knobs if I recall correctly. A great purchase.
