Assembly directions for this Craftsman sweeper could be a better. A couple of the steps just did not make since on the first pass. But I got it after a bit. It took me about 1-1/2 hours to assemble. A good bit of that time was trying to figure out the particular step. In one step I turned the holes the wrong way on one section and had to take it back apart. The bendable rods to support the rear of the bag are too flimsy. I bought 2 thicker ones from the hardware store. The pivot rod that holds the basket kept vibrating out the of the holes they were in and would knock the drive on caps off....
