A:Answer There is assembly needed for all sections. The shelf frames come assembled but need to be attached to frame. I did not use wall attached optioned, I used the option with large center pole and TV hanging from bracket attached to this pole. I assembled it by myself and it took less than an hour, I did need help hanging TV on bracket because of size (65"curved) The stand is good for 60" and less. My curved 65" is actually 57 " wide and it worked perfectly. If you are hanging a large TV, hook on the catches that attach to TV while it is still setting in the packing material. They were easy to install and laying that large of a TV flat on the ground made me nervous. Then you just lift out the TV and angle catches on to the hanging bracket. Once placed I used zip ties around catches just to make me feel better about being secured to bracket. The instructions were easy to follow, just make sure you follow the instructions for the option you want. there are three and the option with bracket attached to wall will take more time and a couple of extra tools, I did not use that option.
