I absolutely love this porch swing, and I was able to put it together fairly simply - the biggest issue was that I was sent the wrong hardware and was short one big bolt so I had to go to Home Depot and try to find a semi-appropriate match. I found one that has ended up working but is a tad shorter than the others and is silver rather than brass, which is a bit annoying. That said, overall the swing is getting regular use and looks beautiful (the wood is finished very well).
