My husband just put this together yesterday; we are building a new spot for it so a delay in use due to that.  He said the assembly instructions were excellent and very easy to put together.  All parts were easily identified and the instructions were very clear.  Even though we haven't started using it yet, I know, for sure, it is going to be more effective than our current composting efforts.  I love the look and the construction seems very sturdy and easy to use.
