Yesterday my new Weber arrived by private carrier... you gotta see the
Weber carton, triple walled heavy corrugated with honeycomb
reinforcements everywhere. It took me over two hours to unpack it,
then another hour to fold up all the extra corrugated and break up the
styrofoam. The outer carton is so heavy and so strong it can easily
substitute for a coffin. The trucker said it weighed 160 pounds...
I'd guesstimate 75 lbs is packaging. Weber packaging is an
engineering miracal, however their assembly instructions are a total
failure. I'm going to wait for this 90º+ heat to go before attempting
to decipher their lousy assembly instructions, they are by far the
worst I've ever seen. This is a grill that retails for nearly $1,000.
I've seen much better assembly instructions with a $20 tomato cage...
the users manual is worse, TP is better grade paper, and the font is
so small I need a magnifying glass to read it... phone directories are
printed on better paper use a more legible font. After looking it
over I see no reason it can't be shipped much more throughly
assembled... shouldn't need more than 15 minutes, instead it will take
about 6 hours... the bag of assorted fasteners must weigh five pounds.
I'll eventually assemble it but I'm not happy with the instructions.-

Good grief! You will have fun packing that back up if it has to go back!
