is it easy to screw in the snack towers or does it take time?

easier to line up threads if UNscrew a bit - until clicks, then start turning clockwise.

Really easy. I've been using these containers for over 2 years. They're super durable.

It's been easy and I actually asked the daycare teacher if they'd experienced any difficulties with any of our supplies and she said no.

it's not difficult but you have to follow the prompts in order and use patience. Takes a little while to boot.

Fairly easy. Had to soak the basket once after cheese sticks exploded, but for the most part, easy.

Yes. Nothing particularly difficult if you're even a little bit handy. Plan on an hour or so to put it together.

From what I remember when I put mine together, I did screw them in place. I had turned the unit upside down, then I had to hold the shelf up against the stops and I used my power drill to set the screws into the shelf. Once the first screw went in, the others were fairly easy. It might be easier with a helper! Hope this helps.

No, it took me about an hour to put it together, but i took my time. I'm sure it could be done more quickly.

Not too hard...takes 5-10 minutes to remove/put on. FYI, while I enjoy it occasionally, the difficulty of assembly wasn't worth it! It took 2 of us 1/2 day.

The plates click in and out easily. I find a medium waffle takes about 8 minutes for the first one and 6 after that.

Yes, very easy. Drill and install, don't overtighten. You can also add a small bead of food safe silicon around joints

No, though that depends on what you mean by 'easily.' After a solid year of use, abuse, and being transported in the car to the occasional playdate, some of the wood on the tops of the towers has chipped ever so slightly. Also, when moving it around, you want to be sure to lift it from the bottom platform, not grab it by the towers. (I tried grabbing it by one of the towers once and felt the glue "give" ever so slightly. Immediately grabbed it from the bottom instead.) In short, you wouldn't want to drop it down the stairs, but for average play of kids shoving figurines into it and opening and shutting the moving parts, it's held up remarkably well.

I didn't think it was difficult. I love putting stuff together like this so I found it to be quite easy. It took me about an hour. I would think if you have someone helping you it wouldn't take as long. Don't forget to either get the swim noodle or the pipe insulator to put around the sides so you don't scratch your appliances. I used the pipe insulator and it cost less than $1. You will be glad you did! Hope this helps

Opening is not too easy. My kids ask adults to help them. Eating directly out of the container is easy: that's what my kids do.

Depends on your ability with items to be assembled. If you have patience and can get the screws in the proper holes, not bad. Otherwise frustration is the order of the day.

My 77 yr old mom put two of the units together. We ordered 4 total and put them all together in less than an hour and a half. I would suggest having a rubber mallet to help tighten the connections. Think of Tinker Toys for adults ... thats how easy this is.

Not too hard. Just give yourself a big area where you can separate all the parts then follow the directions. Took me about 2 hours and I am pretty handy.

Not terribly difficult. Once you get the threads going, it just screws on. Just fyi, it seems the larger birds, such as Cardinals, don't like this feeder. However, I do have it under a larger squirrel baffle. which may make it difficult for them to maneuver under. The little birds love it.

No. You have to put it together. But it's pretty easy to do and should only take 15 or 20 minutes. (And it's worth it.)
