For this price I don't expect to have to fully assemble it! I am pretty savy on putting things together but this was hard work. I followed instructions carefully & got it all together. Until No 8 on instructions when it shows to tightening then all my hard work went out of position. Ended up with a frayed top at the back. Not happy to spend this amount of money and waste nearly 2 hours of my life and a large blister doing it. It would be better coming fully assembled, its lightweight enough.
