The crane itself is well constructed and well worth its inexpensive price. The instructions could be a bit clearer. One notable missing insruction is concerns the positioning of the pivot brackets. The arm needs to extend from the bracket at a 90 degree angle, which is achieved by tweaking the position of the brackets. The need to be postioned with an 11 3/4\" space beetween the top of the bottom braccket and the bottom of the top bracket.
