Although there is some assembly, it was not hard at all. If you take your time, there should be no issues. I take my time with these and it did not even take 60 minutes. The main base is already put together. It's just each of the poles for the seat and display. It is the legs which balance the unit and you'll want to take your time because of the wires that go from the power connection in the base to the top of the display through the poles. The handles also have wires to connect due to it monitoring your heart rate.
