It took me no time to assemble this smoker. It's small, relatively light, but large enough to handle normal cooking for up to 8 hungry people. There are charcoal grates in both the firebox and under the main grates in the smoker body, so you can use it as a 'normal' grill if you need to. The only drawback I can find is that the firebox's charcoal grate is a bit low for the use of a charcoal chimney, if you start your fires with a chimney that drops the coals out the bottom, rather than the invert-and-dump type. That's a flaw in the design of the chimney, though.
I don't know yet how it will stand up to use or abuse. I expect it will perform admirably, given the solidity of its construction. The package was missing ONE flange nut, but I have tons of fasteners and other hardware on hand, so it was no great hardship (I could have assembled it using nothing but my own hardware, if the package had been missing entirely). One missing nut is typical, or even good, for items like this. I recommend the manufacturer start packing one or two extra nuts and bolts with each item they produce, though.
I'm not a fan of using soup cans as grease catchers, and hate the hangers. I'm considering making a small shelf to go under the main smoker body, and placing an old bowl filled with sawdust under the grease hole, instead. Something else the manufacturer might consider.
But for the price, this is an excellent smoker. You can't normally find an offset smoker in the sub-$100 range that's worth anything. Normally the metal is too thin, or they don't have charcoal grates, or the legs wobble, or the design is garbage entirely. This isn't the case here. It comes with charcoal grates across the entire unit, the cooking grates are cast iron coated in porcelain (fast heating, holds heat well, cleans easily with water and a brass brush), it has a sturdy shelf on the side, good handles, decent wheels, good dampers, solid hinges and a thermometer built into the main lid. Plus, it's large enough to do 8-12 large burgers at once, multiple sausages, several ears of corn or 2-4 brisket (depending on the size of the cut). And if you're thinking 'burgers? it's a smoker!' then you've never had slow-smoked burgers before.

Good smoker with small issues
This is a great little smoker and easy to use with chunks of hardwood. It can be easy to burn food if you put it closest to the fire box on a windy day. One of the handles wasn't threaded and is unusable and the little plastic feet broke putting it together, but overall a good smoker. I haven't seen any paint peeling yet after a couple of uses, even after topping out the temperature gauge.
