The cloche wasn't easy to put together. I bought 3 and by the third, the 2 of us had discoverd the knack of putting it together without tears. The first attempt was quite painful. It is a fiddly job, getting small bolts through the right holes. It might have been easier if they had been a bit longer. A magnetic screwdriver would also have helped. The plus point is that the manufacturers included a screw driver and spanner in the pack, so no need to hunt around for the right tools. In all 3 cases, the plastic was fractionally too long, which produced a kink after assembly. This is only apparent when you get to the final stage. Unless you are meticulous, you give up and live with it (otherwise it woud be a matter of undoing it all and trimming the plastic).
To sum up, if patience is not your virtue and you can't find an assistant - do not buy this. I have given it 4 stars because the product does look so much more attractive than other cloches - but those kinks are a bit annoying!
