Very difficult to put together. They dont warn you to check that the springs are attached correctly and straight on the correct side of the hooks, which is a real challenge if they arent. I had two springs that were off completely and they were extremely hard to get hooked. Opening up to full and closing again was a major feat. You must ly on it half way and force it down or pull up depending if you are opening or closing down. You need to be pretty strong. I had to use bully dog oil on the leg treads and still had difficulty getting then screwed on all the way. I will not be folding back down, its just too hard and too much trouble, and risks the springs getting messed up again. Otherwise it seems very sturdy and I enjoy using it. I get the equivalent of about 1500 steps in 15 min.
