If you're very good with mitre saw skills, go ahead with this. You may need help to support molding while you nail it in place.
In my opinion, easy. Check these sites out and see for yourself.

It can be done if you have a miter saw and a nail gun. It does get a little confusing when it's time to cut the corners--inside and outside corners--so buy some extra material for mistakes! It may involve a little sweating and swearing but you can do it!!

Personally, I find that very daunting, first because I cannot cut a miter cut for the corners to save my life, and second, doing so much work over my head that requires you to have your arms up a lot. Having someone to help who had done it before would be really beneficial. Perhaps if you search through You Tube, you can see how others tackle it.
