I had no problems with assembly, the instructions were helpful compared to other reviews prior to this purchase. The instructions may have been updated. It took me 20 minutes to assemble them as I took my time with it. It's not easy to store them on the roof rack and then take them apart when they're done so I just leave them on the roof rack and take the roof rack off when not in use. I've used them twice on two 160 mile tours and the stays have stayed strong. Both of my kayaks didn't move at all. Before my second ride, I retightened the screws as a precaution. I used my own straps, not the straps that came with these frames. My daughter loves the added water protection for her really big Android phone.
