Directions with hardware were included but left much to be desired. Pretty vague, as in attach screws to swing. Happy I had a drill as not all pieces had the holes drilled for the hardware. Two guys assembled the swing in 3 hours. 
The swing itself is very nice. Great cedar scent and very solid with room for three adults to fit comfortably. Arrived in two large boxes, in great condition. 
Would recommend this for those looking to buy a cedar lawn swing with ample room for three adults to fit comfortably.
