Actually easier to assemble than thought as I haven’t put one together in over 15 years I like the look and feel we added accent out door pillow cushions if it last half as long as my other one will be happy sits a little lower than my other swing but no big deal very roomy sturdy and I find the tilt canopy interesting will see how it holds up one tip on assembly that would have been nice to know do not tighten completely until end need to be able to adjust it will make sense when you have to reloosen some to connect some of the pieces which are easily coded for assembly
