It was very easy to put together and we had it up within 30 minutes. I love sitting out on the swing in the early mornings and listening to the birds chirp. I specifically chose this swing because the length of the seat allows for comfortably laying down without feeling squashed, like some of the other designs left me feeling. I can stretch out head to toe on this swing and completely relax. Now all we need is a pond to listen to while swinging away and we will have the perfect nap machine on our backyard!! Would definitely recommend this purchase and would buy again in a heartbeat.
