Firstly I love the stove BUT, I had to pay an extra £75 for delivery by 2 men so it would be brought into my house. The stove is cast iron and weighs a ton, as I am 67 yrs old I had no option but to pay this fee. Outrageous! when I ordered the stove I was told there would be some self assembly BUT, when it arrived it was in several pieces, not only was the weight an issue but I needed spanner's, screw drivers and child sized hands to reach some of the screws and bolts. I enlisted the help of a friend and it still took us 3 hours to put together. As I said, the stove is lovely but my back took the brunt of the excercise. Do not order unless you are a strong, fit young engineer!
