Easy assembly- except for the rope part.  Took hours of tying to find the right length to hang both the front and back so it was at both the correct elevation and that the front and rear were properly hung.  Finish is nice, will see how it holds up to the elements. Says hardwood in description but not what kind.  Also recommends treatment with teak oil to preserve, which I would agree with.   Not as large as my porch swing that I bought from Lowes years ago.
