When I received the tear drop swinging chair it came delivered in two boxes, the stand in one box and the chair in another box.  The assembly of both the chair pieces and the stand wasn't too difficult.  I put the chair together by myself and it took me about an hour to do.  The chair itself is bigger than I expected but still fits into the spot that I want it in.  The chair is pretty comfortable and feels very secure.  The cushions, in my opinion, are too small.  I will probably look for another cushion to put in the swing.  I am very pleased with this purchase!
