As others have mentioned, for the price, it's a decent podium. The instructions are minimal, but unless this is your first assembly job you'll be fine. You will need probably need a mallet to place the pin connectors in their holes so you can then screw them in. I have 2 complaints. 1 - this product comes covered in dust and the Styrofoam used in packaging crumbles if you look at it. Get your vacuum and wet wipes as you'll need to spend about 5 minutes cleaning the product and the floor before starting assembly. And have fun if you want to install the caster wheels. You will need a drill to start holes so you can use the screws, and if you place the casters at the 4 corners, where they are supposed to go, you'll need to drive a couple of screw at angles.
