This takes a few minutes to assemble, but it’s not complicated. However, there was one place where the side panel should have snapped in place, but the frame pieces did not align. It still looks ok, but it could easily be dislodged. I was going to order another one, but found one very similar online that was half the price, just as sturdy, and exactly the same size - just no side pieces and no handle on top, which useless anyway. Overall. a decent rack but pricey.
