Assembly was a bit challenging for my wife and I, but we completed it in 8 hours of assembly time. While pre-burn and curing several times (instructions recommended 2-3 times; I did it 5 times) was time consuming and used about 1/8 - 1/4 of a tank of fuel, it was well worth it. The grill cooks meat perfectly and because of the care given in the curing process is very easy to clean up. We love the grill.
Grill was put together wrong, when that was figured out the burners worked great. Although the side burner will not light with the push button!! These are not made like the one I got rid of which was 25 years old. 😕

Solid grill -- it's a classic! The stove-top burner, and additional searing section burner, add functionality to the straightforward 3 burner system. Since I put this together myself, I can vouch for how solid the construction is throughout. The temperature gauge on center of the lid, makes for helpful temperature control. Mobility provided by the casters at bottom makes the occasional move fairly easy. Ad the ready availability of parts and accessories from Weber make this a good long-term investment.
This is the most functional grill and is so easy to use !! The fact that I can switch out the grill plates to a griddle is awesome!! And add a pizza stone or vegetable basket. Love it all so much !!!
