First things first, as far as the smell. I'm seeing some reviews say the wheels smell and some reviews say that the bags smell. The wheels smell fine to me, yes they have grease on them (so watch your fingers assembling it) but they don't smell like anything other than wheels. The bags do have a fairly strong smell right out of the box, it's not as offensive as some reviewers have described (at least not in my case). I have a feeling that once these bags air out for a little while the smell will go away. It's really just the smell of factory plastic and it's not much different from any other clothes hamper or product made out of this material.
As far as assembly, I have to say I was impressed with how simple it is. Most of the pieces snap into place, so one person can bang out this assembly in 15-20 minutes tops. The wheels are a bit of a challenge to get on but they give you a wrench so it's just a matter of dexterity to turn the tiny wrench enough times around the nut of the wheel.
The whole apparatus seems quite sturdy and it rolls easily, which is perfect for my single-story apartment. Now, when I'm ready to do laundry, I can roll the laundry over with all my stuff organized just like how I wash it. No more worrying about combing through the basket trying to remember how many shirts I wore that week that shouldn't be machine-dried! The capacity of the bags is pretty decent, I would say that me being a bachelor I could get a week's worth of clothes in here without an issue. And I'm using the fourth one for towels, which is nice.
Ultimately I'd say this is money well spent, if the smell doesn't go away after a while or if things change I will revise this review to three or four stars but something having a smell out of the box in this day and age is really not a reason to one-star something. We live in a world of factories and chemicals.
