Was easy to assemble. Suggest you assemble on sturdy table so assembly at waist level. Much better ergonomically. We attached old hammock that had stretched so a little low. You can buy some shorter carabiners to tighten up. Look at little tag on carabiners for weight restrictions. All in all, good product, good instructions, complete parts and pretty easy to assemble. Would really help to have 2 people as it is awkward size. Second person role is not strength but for balance. Have fun.
