How hard was it to set up? I'm not mechanically inclined. I was looking at the instructions online and they were intimidating ha Trying not to pay the $250 assembly fee. With the delivery do you think they will take it inside? I have a converted garage...

Can't answer the Warranty Question. $250 for assembly is a joke. It took my wife and I 60 minutes - and that is because I was taking my time. The biggest hassle is getting it out of the box and placed where you want it, it is HEAVY. I am lucky enough to have a 16 year old built like an ox that was able to help me move it. As for two people need for assembly, basically my wife held parts out of the way as I bolted the uprights on, then she held the platform in place while I connected the wires. They got it set up so it is pretty easy. As for putting it where you want it, I would imagine that would be up to the guy driving the truck. Good Luck.

There is supposed be setup instructions, nails, screws and brackets. You should be able to contact the seller and have them send an assemble pack to you instead of sending the whole thing back.

It was very easy to put together, but you need two people. I had a recently herniated disk and my wife helped. Took maybe an hour moving VERY slow. However, when you buy from Amazon they will only send ONE person to deliver the box instead of two. (So said the delivery person...) I had to help get it in the house and that really sucked considering my recent injury. My unit squeaks when my fat behind runs on it. I weigh 230 lb so I'm not surprised. I don't know if professional assembly would help that - I had a guy come out to look at it under Warranty and he tightened a few things and said it looks good. It still squeaks. My wife is about 100 pounds lighter and it doesn't make a sound. It was very easy to put together, but you need two people. I had a recently herniated disk and my wife helped.

it was not very easy... hardest part was assembling the boxes with the lamps... I did it by trial and error... had to disassemble and reassemble two boxes before I got it right... once you get them assembled NEVER take them apart... also the boom arm was very difficult to figure out... sorry this really isn't much help... I think if you Google or check Youtube for help you might find a video... it works great once you get it together... if you're anywhere near Windsor CT I can show you...

Sorry. But my husband is out of town and he's the one that assembled it. I do remember he complained about the instructions a couple of times because they are not clear. Hope you have figured it out by now. Regina

Thanks a ton. Very helpful. In your opinion, is this worth a DIY adventure or is there not much to be saved in calling someone to setup?

My instructions came inside the box. Also I live with a brother that knows how to set one up... Sorry I couldn't be more help.

You have to get it out of the box and just snap maybe a piece or 2 into place... I consider it as no assembly... you dont need tools or anything to set up. Just take out the box and follow the easy instructions.

Hey there! I had the opportunity to work off site and had to set this baby up. It's fairly easy to set up...tho, i wouldn't do it often...as this thing is heavy.

It was somewhat hard. The directions are not up to date. Some of the parts were already assembled and the paperwork was saying to put them together. Also I had a lot of the hardware missing from my shipment. The company did send another package to me but it took several weeks and several contacts to them. Hope this helps.

My husband assembled it, don't think it was difficult, just takes a while. Just make sure you have all the right tools & you should be fine. I don't have instructions, if not I would pass them down to you. You won't be sorry if you buy this piece, looks great for the price!

It's not that difficult. Instructions are clear. Try it yourself first. You can get anyone to assemble it if you struggle.

It comes collapsed. It took me a few minutes to set it up. The advantage is that when it is not in use it takes up very little space in the garage.

Yes, you'll have to rap it mom...and do recruit some help to put it together. Instructions are excellent but very detailed. Need 4 hands at times. Lay all the hardware out and take your time. You can do it.

Try googling the instructions. Very simple to put together. You tube probably has a video.

I bought mine last year from a local major home improvement store they sold it at a significantly lower price, and offered free delivery and installation. I preferred to buy it local as it would be easier if it appears any problem and because of the free delivery/installation.
