I have the 80-foot version which is the same thing minus two eight-foot
sections.  It was easy to assemble and is very satisfactory in all respects.
The only problem I had with it was when it was lifted in place, the lifting loop
slipped and bent two of the cross braces - my fault, not the tower's.  Just be
sure to secure the loop to the legs so it can't move.  The legs will support the
tower's full weight, but the cross braces won't.  

A great tower.
