My husband assembled both the glider and the ottoman and he said they were very easy to assemble.  Comfort-wise, they're good in my opinion.  My husband thinks the bottom cushion could have a little more support, but it feels okay to me.  I do have wide hips though and was surprised and how narrow the seat itself is.  I'm able to fit into it, it's just a bit more snug than I expected.  I would recommend these items!
