I was worried about all the negative reviews regarding missing parts and difficulty assembling it, but I was surprised and got it all together in about an hour! I wasn't missing any parts, and the instructions were a little bit convoluted but still easy to follow as long as you consult the parts guide on the back. I will say though, you may want to unscrew out the long screws on the part I circled in the picture that I included with my review before you attach them to the springs. These adjust the spring tension. I saw some reviews saying it is difficult to use the press without clamping or bolting it down to a table. Pulling these out will make the tension looser and reduces the amount of recoil you get when pulling the arm back up from the shirt board! Overall I'm very excited to put it to use. I will update my review if I have any problems with it, but so far so good!
