I had wanted a swinging “egg” chair for months and was so excited when this finally arrived. My family (boys ages 17, 15, 12, and 10) rolled their eyes and declared it “lame” until they each sat in it. It’s wonderful! Like being in your own little nest or womb! We enjoy it so much we moved it from outside into our family room. It is the first place anyone chooses  to sit. Assembly was easy with only two steps and all necessary materials included, however it is extremely helpful to have two people to set up the base (I did this with my 12 year old so zero skill is required). The cushion is substantial and thick. The “egg” itself seems well constructed and appeared more robust than other options available. Definitely recommend!
