This has to be the EASIEST item I have ever encountered to put together.  Yup, only pictures, not written instructions, but once you figure out the diagram . . . OMG, so slick, no extra tools, everything you need to construct included (and you do not need much!)  Suggested two people to assemble but I managed solo.  My husband was going to assist but by the time he joined me I had it done!!  On top of the ease in assembling it the price is outstanding!!  This is a must have to enjoy your summer.
