This is the second trike of this brand that I've bought. I and my son assembled the first one and it was a challenge. The directions are mostly just drawings so illiterates (?) can still assemble it, but we managed it after several hours spread out over two days. With this trike, I paid a professional to assemble it -- I wasn't going through that again. Once assembled, it's a great trike! It's solid and it feels sturdy and steady to pedal and ride. No issues. The little bell included is fairly useless, like a toy. The manufacturer should save the 15 cents and stop including them. Everything else is great. The seat is comfortable, the handlebars are easy to adjust and also comfortable, and the frame is solid. All in all, I do recommend this.
