We have this one. It took DH, who is very handy, 3.5 hours over 2 days to assemble it. He said it wasn't difficult, just time-consuming with lots and lots of tiny pieces.

I had the same one as supergreen. It took 2-3 hours for me to assemble it alone. I did need someone to help me with one step, but mostly did it on my own. I have a lot of experience with assembly, since my DH does not have good skills in that direction.
We have the vintage one but it took DH 3 hours spread out over a couple days to put it together. He's super handy.
I remember being really impressed with how great everything was labeled and how clear the directions were. It wasn't hard, just time consuming with all the little pieces.
That would be amazing but I don't think that's an option. Where did you find one pre-assembled?
Well used, preassembled. Craigslist or Kiji or whatever your thing is called or a FB garage sale group. There are tons of kitchens on my garage sale group this time of year.
I scouted out kijiji for weeks before ordering this one but no luck.
My H & BIL assembled that kitchen Supergreen posted & a Power wheels Quad on Christmas Eve night in the basement. It took 3+ hours & 2 people to bring it upstairs. An electric screwdriver should make it faster.
I was going to get the Espresso one. It would look perfect next to the hutch-credenza thing in our living room. But after seeing DD go crazy nuts about the loud pink Hello Kitty kitchen my parents bought her for their house, I've decided a nice colorful plastic Step 2 or Little Tikes is the way to go. My husband hates helping me with Ikea furniture. This kitchen assembly would be all me and why bother.
We had two spots where the pre drilled holes were not deep enough. That really caused a lot of delays since we thought we were doing something wrong and tried to force things. I would recommend having a drill to help .. Just in case.
