For the price this is an amazing BBQ. We only bought it to keep meat cooking separate from vegetarian at our family BBQ.Firstly it comes already assembled. All you have to do is hang the various shelves on each end and underneath - they just hook on. Then place the coal and mesh grills on and the hotplate part and you're done. The longest part was peeling off all the blue plastic that covered the main unit to protect the stainless steel. Then, once done, stick all the cooking areas in the dishwasher and it all fits in side the main bit, fold up the legs and it takes up hardly any space - ours is tucked under e worktop in our cabin. It is a little on the short side at 70cm and we had it on top of a bench seat to counter this. But for camping etc., it would be perfect.
