Super easy to put together. Only took a few minutes for one person. I am 5’ 2” and I think they sit very nice. My head fits nicely at the top so I can rest my head easily while rocking. My husband is slightly taller than me, 5’ 9” and he complains that the bottom bar cuts into his leg and is uncomfortable. Keeping the chairs because I love the design and they go perfectly with the other furniture we purchased for our porch. One note is they are pretty light so be careful if you are putting them in an area that has a lot of wind.
