I'm a mom of two but I'm pretty handy with tools and fixing things and this closet was pretty easy to set up. Every now and then I had to have my teenage son help hold a couple pieces together while I drilled a couple screws but other than that, I did it by myself. The closet definitely served it's purpose. The only thing I didn't like about this closet is that when I opened the box and laid out all the pieces, One of the long length pieces had a crack in it due to shipping and handling before it got to me. I would've sent it back but I didn't want to go thru the hassle. Other than that, this was a great closet with plenty of hanging space and a shelf on the top in the inside.
