well... first I apologize to the reviews that i thought were from people that couldnt put something together. I now realize that yes, these directions, pictures, markings whatever you want to call them were pitiful.  You need to be an octopus and extremely flexible, love your spouse dearly, to put this together to fit into one. It took us all week after work to put this together. I even went to a u tube video as suggested by customer service to follow directions, don't do it!, it will stress you even more. I am hoping that this was worth the aggravation and will let you know after the summer. Good luck to all who tackle this.
