Hi Nena,
Yes, I hauled the boxes home in the back of the car and spent more than the two hours the company said it would take to setup the frame. I don't think it was their fault, I waited until 9:30pm to start!
If you go with the imperial or the previous next generation frame, both by Gracie for Viking, you will want a second pair of hands to set it up. But it is very doable.
The small Viking Mega quilter is not a problem to setup. I only had a moment of fun with the tension in the threading. After I got it right, it made perfect sense.
Oh, and the frame comes with a great setup DVD. It really is good.
