I think, it will be much easier to design such a complicated cell in InterfaceBuilder. If you're using Storyboards, you can design custom cells right away in your table view. If you're using xibs, you can create a nib that will have a custom UITableViewCell instead of the table view, UIViewController as owner and declare subclass of UITableViewCell in your project. That should make your sufferings much easier =)

When you are reusing cell you don't need to create labels second time:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Cell %i",indexPath.section]];

    if (cell == nil) {

        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 reuseIdentifier:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Cell %i",indexPath.section]] autorelease];

        if(indexPath.row==0)
        {
            CGRect frame=CGRectMake(120,10, 80, 40);
            UILabel *label1=[[UILabel alloc]init];            
            label1.frame=frame;
            label1.text=@"first label";
            label1.tag = 1001;
            [cell.contentView addSubview:label1];
            [label1 release];

            CGRect frame2=CGRectMake(200,10, 80, 40);
            UILabel *label2=[[UILabel alloc]init];
            label2.frame=frame2;
            label2.text=@"second label";
            label2.tag = 1002;
            [cell.contentView addSubview:label2];
            [label2 release];

            and so on.......
        }
    }


    if(indexPath.row==0)
    {
        UILabel *label1=[cell viewWithTag:1001];
        label1.text=@"first label";

        UILabel *label2=[cell viewWithTag:1002];
        label2.text=@"second label";

        and so on.......
    }


    return cell;
}

I'm accessing previously created labels using there tag value.
