Both the glider and ottoman were easy to assemble with the instructions provided, along with all the screws and tools included. This was a baby shower gift to my BFF's daughter. Both she and her husband were delighted, as the colors matched the baby's room perfectly. The only downside is that according to the specs, the glider will accomodate up to 250#. I thought the husband was about 200, more or less, until he made a comment that he may need to lose some weight. Otherwise, a beautiful glider!
