This was an easy assembly, about half an hour, with the only hitch being a hole that was not completely clear and had to be re-drilled. I'd suggest having a t-handle wrench to make things easier. Once assembled, I loaded it with four windsurfers, no problem, and will add a couple of surfboards to the top shelf, and a SUP to the bottom shortly. Note that the center cross bar supports are now threaded to accept the screws, my drawing showed screws and nuts, which slowed me up a bit. The feet are adjustable for leveling, too. Overall, just what I wanted, If you get one, I think you'll be happy.
