LOVE my new rocking Papasan chair.  It was super easy to put together, but for one part I did need my sone to help hold the chair pieces together for me.  It is VERY comfortable.  The fabric on the Papasan cushion is quite rough, but will probably hold up well outside.  I put a a fleece throw blanket over it and it's perfect.  I may just get a velvet cover for it at some point.  Overall for the price this chair is wonderful.
