I was very excited for this package to arrive. It came in intact and with all the pieces; sometimes that doesn't happen. It is definitely a two person project to assemble. I think it took about 45 min to put it all together. Directions were easy to follow and all of the bolts fit correctly in the slots; again sometimes that is not the case. The cushion is a bit thinner than I would have liked but I can always replace it. The awning has a corner where the seam is not stitched properly and it hangs down; but I'll live with it since this was a low price deal. We have had two people on the swing and it seems to hold fine; feels safe. Considering this is a lower end model, I say it is worth the expense and provides the function intended without any fancy add ons.
