This is easy to assemble. Excluding the padded pieces, modular pieces to assemble are the seat, the base, back and two arms.  It is well built and should be durable. There are no squeaks or rattles. Gliding is smooth and reasonably comfortable.  Shipping from Wayfair was quick and the glider arrived one day earlier than expected.  I did a lot of research prior to settling on this particular glider.  It is a good choice.
