This is the best swing! I'm so happy with this purchase. It was a chore to get it through the front door by myself, but once I did, it was pretty easy to assemble. It would have been easier if I had a second person to assist - mostly because you have to line up the holes while balancing an awkwardly shaped pole/arm. This  swing is really comfortable. I've had it over 10 months now and its as great as the day it arrived. I have it in my screened-in porch which gets a lot of daylight in the early morning and late afternoon, but there's no fading or damage to the cushion at all; I have the navy cushion.
