We bought the swing as a gift for our parents and just put it together this weekend.  When reading the reviews the most common comment was how difficult the assembly was.  Based on that, I thought it would be much harder that it was.  We had a lot of people to help us so maybe that made the difference.  Our parents love it!!!!  It's quite comfortable to sit on.  The tie back screens are a nice feature.  You can sit outside in the evening without the bugs getting to you.  It also lays down flat so you could take a nap on it.  It really is a nice swing and very well made.
