Is there a trick to putting this together? The snap locks are so hard to push in, I can't get them in far enough to slide the legs into the top.

Find someone to help you. Put all the parts on the floor. One person should use pliers to push down the snap lock, then the other person can slide the legs into the top.

There isn't really a trick to putting the rack together. But my husband and son (both with more muscle) helped slide it in with persistence. Once it is put together, it can stay that way.

It does eventually happen, but I had to get my big strong hubby to do it. Once it's together it's a great suitcase holder. The legs do have a plastic plug on the ends. Keep going and be strong (or find someone stronger like I did).

This was the hardest part of putting the unit together for me. The holes are way small and don't stretch.. The holes have what I think is a thin metal ring. I had to gently rip the ends open, it takes a bit of force but when it lets go it makes a pop sound, then they slide right on. Hope this helped.

The instructions that came with mine were not the best. It has been a while since I put mine together, but I remember I had to take areas apart to get the shelves in, so don't tighten any screws all the way. If I can remember correctly, I put on side together then the other side. Then I put the shelves in. The main top and wheels went on last. It is a good sturdy piece of furniture for the price, once it is put together. I am sorry I cant be of more assistance but I wish you luck.

It was very difficult to do. The only thing I found that seemed to help that was to do 2 opposite corners first. Even doing that I had a hard time. I think they want it to be tight. Hope this helps.

Hi, I checked the bench and the legs are solid, no holes, so I don't know how you could bolt them in. Too bad, because it really is a great bench. Hope that helped. Good luck.

All of it is assembled by screwing the other peices in to each othwr ... The legs came with screws to attach them to the bottom and the screws arwnt anywhere near long enough. the idea was to hold the legs up and match them, then use the screws on the opposite side to attach, but like I said they aren't long enough. So I had to bring the screws to ace hardware and buy the same size width but longer in length . Such a pain not worth it !

I did not have any problems putting this item together. It screwed in easily and is very sturdy. You must have received a defective product.

Hi there. We had the same issue! There is a small "button" on one of the legs (at the edge of the bed part) that you press . It's the same one that's SUPPOSED to click to lock it into place (had some difficulties w/one of ours). It isn't obvious since it kind of blends in with all the other black plastic hardware. Hope this helps. Have a blessed week! :) | db, charlotte nc | 11-Nov-2014.

Check the guild. I installed the one I got and it was very very easy. I saw a how to do it on youtube. When installing push hard to snap in.

My husband and I didn't have any troubles putting it together and got it done within an hour. But maybe that's because he is a mechanic and loves putting things together! So I guess I'm not sure how to answer your question...I'm sure it is different for everyone. Maybe your son-in-law can get an extra hand in helping him assemble it? I do recommend this item over all the other ones I have researched (for the price)

I would contact the manufacturer to see if they have online instructions you can download. If not I would return it. Hard enough to put together WITH the instructions.

Mine has been wobbling like crazy every since I put it together. I've taken it apart, and reassembled twice, and it's never gotten better. I've tried to find a way to cross-brace it in the back, but the legs are metal, and I don't have the tools to get through it.

You can try pushing from the holes inthe top.... I had no problem, I just pinched the bottom of mine and bent it. There are actually 2 of them inside... hope this helps

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.

It's supposed to snap together, but we had difficulties! Make sure the little slots end up on the right sides or the wrap around cover does not work. You are not missing anything, just some elbow grease. (My husband ended up using screws and put it together all wrong.)
