For the most part it wasn't a super difficult or complicated build. One other thing that annoyed me was that in the beginning they had a diagram where it clearly looked like some screws needed washers. So I used half the washers that came in the box. Then later on I get to another step that needs all of the included washers and I'm like what the heck. Then I realize there's already sort of a molded surface that looks kind of like a washer where the first bolts went in and I realized you're not supposed to use washers there. But the first diagram clearly showed a separate ring placed on the threaded hole lol.

I did it by myself but the instructions said two people were required lol. Maybe it would've been easier with someone else lol.
