Assembly was super easy. Quality is something to be desired, not sure I'm keeping this. The handles are SUPER flimsy and cheap. I had two 26lb cat litter pails on it and the long handle bows as you're pulling it, ALOT! It won't be long before this handle snaps. When turning, the side supports for the handle bow to the direction you're turning. The cart 'looks' great and the wooden board is beautiful, but quality in being able to trust the functionality lacks. Rolling on carpet seems difficult or trying to get over the carpet track when going from tile to carpet, you have to get 'a run' at it. I would not buy this again, and as I said - may return yet. I'm 5'1" and have to slightly slouch/bend in order to pull this along. Specifically bought due to diseased spine and bending while pulling is not on my list of can do's. Disappointed, this is a really cute cart.
