We just bought this grill locally and I was lured by the promise of "assembles in minutes, no tools required." If they meant "less han an hour" then it is correct: it took me just a bit under an hour to put together. The main part of the grill - the cooking unit - is completely assembled in the box which means that the ignitor actually works. But you have to use a sometimes cryptic manual to assemble the legs, hood, and other parts of the grill. I've put a lot of furniture kits together so this wasn't too bad but the pictures are definitely lacking. Still, it didn't required any tools and once assembled, it is a really nice grill at a reasonable price. I wish it explained the "v-bar" - I assume it's some kind of device to keep the flame down or even" - but it really was doable. Just be prepared to spend some time scratching your head & you will probably have a couple of washers left over. But a nice little grill, better than I expected for the price.

Update 6/2008: Still working great!

I find it to be a very good grill. Assembly takes less than an hour. The only headache I encountered was trying to reuse the plastic tabs if you need to re-insert them. The small tin holder on the bottom used for catching grease would fill-up quickly and splash grease around the gas tank, so I added an empty coffee tin and cured the messy clean up. The food warmer rack did not come with retaining caps to hold it in place, so it does un-hinge on one side sometimes. I have had my grill for about five years now and I haven't done any real maintenance besides cleaning it.
