This chair takes at least 2 people to assemble. It was a bit frustrating to assemble but before we knew it, it was all put together. All together it took us about 30 minutes from start to finish. The chair is so comfortable. It can swing forward, backward and side to side. It swings to freely and feels like you're floating. It can fit two average sized adults. I love it and its so comfy! Also it fits perfectly in my small backyard.
