I watedfor a very long time for it to come in due it being out of stock. Got it yesterday my son who is very mech.inclined andn me who isn 83 put it together. The instructions could have been clearer but that you look over and easily make clearer. I would give it 5 stars but can only give it 3 or 4 which is still pretty good. The manuf. and quality control should really look into the fact that some holes do not line 4 up properly. My son had a very hard time attaching the bottom and parts of the cover metal strip due to mis-alignments.i never write any reviews but such with such  a good reputation that Lifetime has it would behove you to look into this. The box was broken on the ends but no damage inside. We really do love it.
