Yes, it is a pain to put together because the instructions are awful but just looking at the pics here and finding a youtube video helps.It is kinda awkward to move and folding it seems more annoying than it is worth. I put this right at my couch and I have a nice set up. It adjusts quickly so my 7 yr old and I can take turns and adjust the height for each of us.Now for the review who said you can't hard mount the Thrustmaster T150 directly to it..... well, their top plate is installed incorrectly, if they flipped it around I bet you could screw it on. I would give it a 4-4.5 out of 5 but since that review was wrong, I made it 5. It is a solid piece. I recommend it if you don't feel like shelling out a lot of cash for this.
