If you've never assembled something like this you're in trouble because it doesn't come with instructions. This is a headache. Remove the main reflective material and smooth each seam. With the new product, the first loops that each spoke of the umbrella has to go through are initially hidden in the seams of the fabric. This is the first loop, the white velcro loop is the second, and the end of the needle goes into each end where the black velcro is. The end slots are tight - sometimes you have to push the material a bit to get started. If you find a loose bolt, washer and nut that looks like I did it, it goes to the Bowens mount to tighten the rotation so it doesn't turn. If none of this makes sense, check out the product code on YouTube where you can laugh at others who have trouble putting this together but can show you visually where you can go wrong. Otherwise, this is what you would expect once everything is assembled. The material is good at the moment and very inexpensive for a large softbox.
