The instructions are pretty much worthless, so it took longer than I expected to assemble it because I didn't do it in the right sequence, and had to disassemble then reassemble. but other than that it's fantastic! Plastic hose reels appear bulky because all the parts are made so thick; this metal one with it's thin diameter tubing is almost invisible. Even so, it's sturdy and not rickety. And the reel is mounted up higher, so you don't have to bend over as much when winding. Plastic ones are not sturdy at all, they tend to "walk" or wobble when you try to drag them behind you because of all the flexing (I used to have to pick up & carry mine). The one I replaced was the cheapest plastic one on sale at Ha**** Fr**** and even it was more expensive than this metal one. Look around at all the metal hose reels on Amazon, to get anything like this of a different brand starts at $90 and goes up from there!! My only criticism is that the manufacturer just throws the parts into the box with no styrofoam, so my reel was slightly bent and the handles had poked holes through side of the box. Also, all the threaded fittings are plastic, and although everything was leak-free on the first try, I would have preferred those parts to be metal for longevity. Oh, and the lead-in hose is TINY, only about 2 feet long, so unless you plan to keep it butted right up against the house under the faucet you'll need to buy a longer one.
