easy peasy
assembly instructions are just a blown apart parts diagram, which is easy enough to follow.  All the parts were there and fit together just fine.  It even came with a tiny little wrench which would work for putting it together, but a socket wrench makes life so much easier.  The little wrench will live in my car for when I want to take them off and the nuts don't cooperate.<br /><br />The straps a simple pull through type that most J hook racks have, but these have an extra clip to keep them from sliding back through accidentally.<br /><br />Overall I'm happy with these rack at the price they are.
