I have been wanting a bike rack for years. I am pleased with this one. The directions to assemble is a few pictures. It takes some time to figure it out. It took almost an hour an a few bad words. I highly suggest 2 patient people to out this together. I use it for my mountain bikes that have 29 inch wheels. The storage area is great for putting all my bike equipment (helmet, cleats, gloves, etc). I would definitely recommend this rack.
