The swing is very beautiful. It sits 2 people easily. It was a struggle putting together, so two people will be needed. The instructions are pictures but can be read easily step by step. The a and b poles did come mismarked but it was easy to figure out how the swing went. I suggest buying a cushion because after a while it does get a little uncomfortable. But I enjoy my swing very much. I enjoy sitting outside and rocking back and forth. This is exactly what I was looking for.
