Assembly was easy, all necessary tools were included. I'm tall -- my carefully-taken __quote__inseam__quote__ measurement (pelvic bone to the floor) is the same as the rower's, but in use I bump the rear stop unless I perch on the back edge of the seat. No extended rails are available :-(. So I plan to extend the front connection by 2 inches. The machine seems quiet, I like that. The added cost for __quote__smart__quote__ seems excessive, but considering the extreme cost of some other brands, this isn't a problem. The app is a little cryptic, NO instructions and I'm not a teenager so I needed to exchange several emails with simple questions.
