Like Jonathan, my 12" Skywatcher collapsible dob arrived last week. I did have assembly instructions for their normal dobs as well as 8", 10", and 12" collapsible dobs included.
I had no problems assembling the base. Just lots of screws to install. All tools were included although the wrenches for the azimuth bolt were almost too big.
My collimation may be slightly off. I could find Saturn with my 26mm (yes, 26mm not 25mm) eyepiece but had problems with my 10mm. I tried aligning the finder scope with the main optics but I was surrounded by objects that were closer than the recommended 500m.
As for Saturn, I was able to see four moons. I'll try more testing when I get in an area with clear skies and far less light pollution. I'll also try to post a few pictures here as well.
