and yet they say they included the correct tools. There is a user video of a gentleman using a 2/pronged hook which makes assembly look like a piece of cake. What was included was a single hook. It is nearly impossible to use the single hook once you get more than 50 of the bungees on / you NEED something to spread and pull simultaneously. I contacted the seller and they told me this tool was the new tool, and offered the advice of basically telling me to do exactly what I was struggling to do.
After spending literal days working intermittently / my back and arms were sore and trembling with exhaustion / my husband found another tool similar to the hook they provided, and together using 2 hooks we were able to make quick work of it. Once it was assembled, I gave it a quick bounce and it feels very sturdy.
In short, if you receive a single hook, do yourself a favor and FIND A SECOND HOOK.
Very hard to assemble without correct tools
