How much it had been

Hi teachers,

Can you say this:

Did you know how much time it had been to put the furniture together?

Thanks

No. Say this instead: Did you know how much time / how long it had taken to put the furniture together? However, check that this rather complicated tense structure is necessary for your situation.
