The assembly was easy. It is time consuming as it is all all these type of flowers as you have to roll then glue each individual petal so this is for people who enjoy this process -I do!- and want to save money over buying pre-assemble paper flowers. The quality is very good. The thickness and gloss of the paper is very nice and well made. The gold color shined perfectly. I glued pins then hung up and have held up very well.
