The grill is well made. There were a couple of areas where the instructions could be a little clearer but all in all they were very good. It took me a little less than a hour to assemble it after looking through the instructions. I have to be honest though, I used to assemble grills for a big box store after I retired so much of it was rather obvious. Read the instructions and lay out the parts in order of assembly and a novice should be able to have it together in 90 minutes or so.
