Easy install, I was able to hang it by myself with no problem. But I could see where others may need help. It's not extremely heavy, it's about as heavy as you would expect a tv stand to be. Only drawback (otherwise I would have rated 5 stars) is once you hang it you can still see the track that is installed to the wall through the 3 top shelf openings. It would look so much more sleek if that was concealed. But can easily be covered with pictures, decor, dvd's, etc... Other than that, it was everything I hoped it to be. Made a major difference in the room and made me feel like I had a new TV!
