Know Before You Build
We rate how hard products really are to assemble—using thousands of reviews and real builder feedback.
Manufacturer assembly times are often optimistic. Our scores aren't.
Every product gets rated TWO ways:
Measures real build difficulty
Honest, post-build feedback
Same product, two perspectives. Compare before you buy.
Assembly times on the box don't tell the full story. BuildScore does.
Start with your project—we'll tell you how hard it really is.
