This chair is SO cute! It took me about 30 minutes to assemble. It would have only taken me about 20 minutes if I wouldn't have had a blonde moment mid-stream. This chair is solid and comfortable and will last a very long time. My family loves it! My husband and I can both fit in it which is a total weight of about 400 pounds. I actually like to lie in it sideways and read my book in the evenings on the back deck. My 4 year old niece thinks its a play swing and because this chair is so sturdy I don't worry about her wrecking it. Shipping was fast, parts were complete and instructions were adequate/average. I had to look at the image on the box a few times which helped where the instructions were vague. This was a good purchase!
