Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The description above is vague, and the company's website for the product is even more so. So, I will provide you with what you can expect (quotes are from the instructions and/or the company's website): - The product comes unassembled, but "no tools are needed." You will receive three (3) tubes, two (2) plastic ends/stands, four (4) "hook & loop pieces" (which are really Velcro-like adhesive strips to help "hold the StorageMaster secure to a carpeted surface", and one (1) net bag. - No where will you see the words "easy assembly", and for good reason. There are nine steps to assembling this cargo thing, and I gave up after step 5 only to repeat the process and re-repeat the process until finally threw the instructions aside and built it by looking at the picture on the box (which made it infinitely easier.) 99% of my problem was that I have no patience for cramped diagrams and figures for something so simple. - The instructions are difficult to read since they bolded half the words, put some IN ALL CAPS, chose to put quotes around the "A", "B" and "C" that is associated with each part. Pack that all in with black and white pictures of an all black product and you have a mess. (Not nearly as bad as some of those dirt-cheap overseas instructions that have been translated 15 times and come out with warnings like "do not put with children.") - The product is made in China (if that matters to you.) - The net is of medium quality. What does that mean? It means that if you are like me, and you are fairly gentle with most things and don't just go throwing your golf club bag into the truck, then this product should last for a couple years of good use. If you are rough with your stuff (or have kids) it should last about one year. One careless/impatient toss of the golf club bag and the StorageMaster is probably done for. - The cargo net folds back to allow you to use the truck for larger items. When folded back this cargo net effectively divides my trunk into two segments: half of a useful trunk and half a trunk that's hard to access. - There are three adjustable settings for a trunk width of 37-inches (.94 m), 40.5-inches (1.03 m), and 43-inches (1.09 m). I have an average four-door sedan and I was able to use the longest setting of 43-inches. - It's very light, probably weighing less than 2 pounds. - (It's in my opinion) the elastic bands that retain the bar and net in place are most likely going to be the first thing to break, and this being from dry rot of the elastic. I figure that they could easily be replaced with new elastic bands and a quick run of the sewing machine. - They do have an 800 number you can call for help. Maybe I should have given this product 3 stars, but now that I have it put together and are able to keep the cans from rolling over the eggs I'm just that much better off. So... 4 stars for usefulness 3 stars for assembly 3 stars for instructions (which are in English, French and Spanish.) 3 stars for quality
