I had the day off and put it together while all my friends were at work, it took a few hours and the instructions are very confusing, I ended up watching a YouTube video on the installation and read some tips from a few other reviews, don't wing the installation the unit is oval and it matters where things go, other then that everyone loves it and it's great to lounge on with a drink and some music when there's a nice breeze when you get tired of jumping!
