Very easy to install, not much to it following instructions however, the legs are a bit flimsy. They will break loose if trying to move it specially after plants and soil have been added and the reservoir is full of water. I have a different brand that I had bought earlier and that worked better. I cannot return so I’ll be using it anyway and keep it where it was assembled. Plastic components seem to be good. I only had this for about 1 12 months.
