Built very solid. Easy assembly. It says portable, but realize it weighs 120 pounds, so you may need 2 people to remove griddle and help fold the legs. I started seasoning the top, I applied too much oil, so it got gummy. I have to clean top and re-season, moral of story is use very little oil to season and may be do 4 seasoning sessions. It was only 10 degrees out while seasoning so that added to the problem. I recommend getting a laser/infrared thermometer to check the various areas of the griddle for temperature because while seasoning I noticed certain areas heated up hotter and faster. Waiting until it gets above freezing before doing any griddling. I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE AWESOME and maybe after I get griddling I can adjust the star rating.
