Purchased several of these cradles for hot tubs for our short term rental accommodation cottages. They work perfectly and will be a big help to our guest when removing and replacing the cover. They will also protect the covers from dirt and damage from being dropped onto the ground. My only slight niggle was in the assembly, to get the cradle arms into the right height, one aluminium pole slots into another and a self-tapping screw is used to secure them in the right position. One hole is pre-drilled in the outer pole, but the screw has to then penetrate the inner pole. This takes a lot of pressure and I had to use an impact drill (which was successful). This is likely to be something many people wouldn't have available so perhaps an easier option could be found. Otherwise, assembly was fine and the instructions clear.
