I am a 5'2" woman (weight undisclosed) and put this together by myself; it took me about three hours because the assembly instructions absolutely SUCK.  That is my only real complaint about this item.  The swing is great, my granddaughter and I have been sitting on it and she loves that grandma bought her a swing that folds into a bed just for her.  The padding could be a little thicker but what came with it is okay.  I would absolutely purchase this again.  It's comfy and looks great on my deck.  I love wayfair!!!
