I put these together by myself.  Used the couch etc to compensate for lack of extra hands.  The instructions were great.  Took about 5 hours total.  Very important to not tighten until everything is together.  When you put the bracket on the front and back, youll easily see why.  They are super heavy and very well made.  Only one scratch on back of rocker, but its small.  Paint is well done and a beautiful color.  Super comfortable and rocks super well.  Really love them.  Highly recommend.  Btw, they are under a patio roof, so metal doesnt get hot in the Az sun.
