Yep, it seems impossible at first but it can be assembled. It took two of us, we stood the thing up on end to loop the bungees. One holds the round hoop straight while the other uses their weight to PULL the bungee down. Have the heavier person pull the bungee down, since this is for people weighing up to 450lb we can assume SOMEONE in the household is over 200 (cough) pounds. My hoop tool didnt look as pictured and didnt work as expected, so I purchased one that looked like the one in the instructions.
