I had NO problems assembling this, when put together correctly its great! I own high end audio equipment to compare to (marshall, yamaha, onkyo, pioneer, polk)I decided to keep them because. Very disappointing purchase. There is no way one can keep the product on the head comfortably for a few hours. No volume buttons. If I hadnt gotten the screws loosened, they would have been returned. tutto ok I mean if it?s ugly the least she can be is strong. It goes together easily enough but there is not enough space between the rows. Very disappointed as it was a gift.
