I am very interested - however I am concerned with the reviews from some of the buyers about how hard it is to assemble!

I didn't have much of an issue assembling this product. It was easy, everything locked into place, and it's very sturdy.

This is very easy to assemble and lightweight. However, I never disassemble it for use as a portable dip stand. It is easier for me to leave it assembled in the room I workout. I still imagine it is easy enough to take apart to carry along then reassemble. It is stable as long as you have it on a level floor and very sturdy. I believe it has a weight limit, but no one here using it is that heavy. The handle bars are comfortable enough and it does the job it was was intended for.

This was not hard to assemble. It comes with directions and it is color coded so that you just match the colored dots on opposing joints and push them into place. The whole thing snaps together and it still sturdy enough that I feel safe. I am 210 lbs and I use it to do dips and reverse pullups twice a week. I leave it fully assembled in the corner of a rooom, but it has push buttons so that you could make it smaller in seconds (and put it back into place in seconds).

I had no problem assembling it, anytime you have metal that has bends in it you sometimes have to put a little pressure on them to get the pieces to slip in together. My total time was about 15 minutes to assemble

It is quite easy. All of the individual tubes have color coded stickers so you know exactly which tube connects to which. I have kept my stickers on for 2 years so I can easily disassemble and reassemble. Just lay the tubes on the ground, go slowly and you'll be done in 60 seconds.

I've had no trouble assembling it thus far. It comes apart into 6 pieces and each end of each piece has a color coded sticker on it (not the cheap kind of stickers, but the kind that should stay on for a long time), so it's fairly easy to know which piece to connect where. Even without the stickers I don't think it's difficult to figure out. The actual physical assembly is not difficult either, takes me probably no more than 5 minutes, perhaps even less. No tools needed. Disassembling it also takes only a few minutes.

Very easy to assemble. It's color coded so it takes about 5 minutes. No tools needed.

Not hard. Am a 60 yr old woman, and did it all by myself, directions were very easy to follow. The only issue was one misaligned screw hole that I mentioned in my review. I had to drill a new hole so the screw would go in correctly. Overall it took less than an hour to assemble. Have fun!Aron

My brother found it difficult to assemble. My brother called and paid a handy man to assemble this bed. On a positive note - once assembled - it is a very nice looking bed. It is worth it if you have someone that is very good with putting things together to help assemble. My brother (an adult at 170 lbs) has been using it for over a year, and it has held up nicely. The other reviewer said their bed fell apart, but so far the bed we ordered is fine.

You have to assemble it. It is not as hard to assemble as some of the reviews say.

My instructions were in the box, I disagree that it was hard to put together. It went together very neatly.

Assembly is not difficult -- it is easier with 2 people, but it can be done by one person. I recommend reading the instructions carefully. If you follow the directions, you should not have any problems.

It's not easy to put together. The instructions say to use three people. My husband and I were able to manage though. Taking it apart for storage wouldn't be realistic. It's a lot of fun though and I'm glad we got it.

I'm sorry, I can't help! My son put it together and if I remember correctly, it was a pain. Good luck!

We had no difficulty with assembly. The instructions were included and very clearly written. Have you called the company to send you new assembly instructions? It was very easy to assemble.

It was difficult. My husband is a bike enthusiast so he was able to put it together. Otherwise I would recommend taking it to a bicycle shop for assembly.

It requires a bit of assembly, but not a lot in my opinion. That's both good and bad. It's good because I hate assembling. It's bad because the main chunk is extremely big and heavy. It was impossible for me to move it myself.

I wouldn't say it was difficult to assemble at all. The instructions were clear and parts were individually labeled. However, there are a lot of parts.... so it is definitely time consuming. Unpacking and assembly took approximately 2 - 3 hours. It's fairly heavy, so having a second person would be helpful at times.

No, I'm afraid not. It took me approximately 4 hours to assemble (admittedly after a tiring day), but should take substantially less time if you have an assistant. However, it works and looks terrific upon completion.

It isn't very hard to put together. There are several heavy pieces but I had it put together in about a hour and a half. The hardest part is getting the legs set. I love mine. It is a really nice heavy piece of furniture.

No. The assembly instructions are pretty clear though, and I am not the most mechanically apt guy. You'll be OKAY, or someone you know who has used any basic hand tools will do fine as well.By the way, the product is good and sturdy, well made, and a great price.

I wish I would have seen these comments before trying to assemble ours! NO manual and we had a heck of a time getting them put together. Same issue with the holes not lining up, I'm wondering if it would have been easier if we didn't tighten the screws all the way until they were all in....I don't know? We nearly stripped our screws but muscled through it and got them assembled. Really cool chair; just a pain to assemble.

Carol S., No it is not hard to assemble. If I remember correctly, I looked at the picture on the box to see how to assemble it.
