I assembled this in a slow, easygoing manner, and it took about 45 minutes and was not frustrating. You might be faster. This is a stationary bike for normal use. It isn't going to tolerate or accommodate extreme behavior. For example, the pedals are plastic. They are strong, but if I stood up on them and pedaled like mad, they (or at least the straps) would give out eventually. I am large, but I don't recommend standing on the pedals. And if you constantly readjust the straps, like for multiple users in a household, I'm sure the plastic fasteners will eventually wear out. The seat is not like a bicycle saddle, which is good for casual users. It is slightly uncomfortable on the back of my thighs, but only a little. I am 6'2" and 300 lbs, and feels perfectly stable and firm. No creaking, groaning, or shifting. Pretty good for a device that only weighs about 40 lbs. At first I didn't think the magnetic tension was high enough, but as I pedaled more, I kept adjusting the resistance downward, because I want a longer cardio workout, not massive quadriceps. If you want resistance like the slopes in San Francisco, where you would be standing on the pedals, this machine won't do it for you. But there's plenty of tension for normal folks who want a 15+ minute workout. The distance from seat to pedals, at maximum height, is not quite long enough for me. On a bicycle, one's legs should extend fully when the pedal is at it's lowest, or that's what I've always been told. Mine don't. If the user was 5'8" (down to about 5'2"?), I expect their legs would extend fully. I don't really mind, I just want an afford, space-efficient workout, and that's what I've got. The instructions are in slightly amusing, badly translated English, but they are correct. Be aware that the bolt and nut for one pedal are reverse-threaded and the opposite ones aren't. Beyond that, no real problems in assembly. All tools are included, and the bolts and washers are separated, so I just snipped them off the ones I needed with scissors, at each step. They are all clearly identified. There are no spare bolts or washers, so cover your floor vents. The secondary handlebars on either side of the seat I have no use for. I didn't install them, which makes the machine even narrower when folded, so I like that. The seatback falls foward easily onto the seat when nobody is sitting, saving a little vertical space when folded (though the front handlebars are taller anyway). The display runs on two AAA's (included), but you don't need the display for the bike to work. It will hold a phone where the display is, so you can time yourself with a phone and forget the display, if you prefer. Or use the phone to check stock prices while you ride. I really prefer focusing on the exercise itself. The machine is perfectly silent. You could use it while someone was sleeping in the room, if your clothes are similarly quiet.
Overall I am very pleased for the price. Wish it was taller, but then it would have to be wider and heavier as well.
