The assembly was what one would expect. The instructions could be a bit clearer. The color was as expected. I was happy to find a gray that matched my other outdoor chairs. What I was disappointed with is the size. It was listed as a 3 person swing with a seat back that reclines. It will seat 3 kids or very small adults. Only kids shorter than 4’ could lay on it. The canopy looks nice but a gust of wind moves it around because it doesn’t tighten in place very well. With all that said, it looks very nice and is sturdy.
