Instructions are simple and you have to interpret some of the steps yourself, but it's easy enough to put together. This is the 3rd style of balance bike we've purchased and the positives are the spot where your feet can rest, the steering is actually able to be tightened enough that it doesn't move the Handle bars when it falls and the quality of the frame. Negatives were the instructions and no caps for the bolts while riding. Overall worth it for the price and Customer service was quick to fix an issue I had with a tire.
