I had the pleasure of assembling the above Patio Pro last night. I have to say, the assembly instructions were terrible. I have attached the instructions here for your viewing pleasure.

Where do I start? There is a big “Assembly Instructions” summary page (p3), which most of the instructions point back to, doesn’t identify *any* of the pieces in the picture. The instructions on pages 4 and 5 are not clear, and when they reach for explanation, 4 or 5 steps will reference the same small figure on that page, and point back to the summary picture. Not exactly easy to follow. None of the pieces were stickered or tagged in any way when I opened the box.

I also ran out of washers by the end of the assembly, and had leftover nuts and bolts. Not exactly confidence-inspiring.

After 90 minutes, I finally finished, and read the following after step 17:

NO RETURNS ON USED GRULLS.

Indeed.
