The chair arrived earlier than expected, and was easy to put together except for one arm. The predrilled holes didn't line up perfectly so it took some muscle to line them up while screwing the arm to the rest of the chair. The chair is more comfortable than expected. Due to the price tag, compared to similar, higher priced gliders, I didn't have high expectations, but this glider has exceeded them. It glides smoothly, and baby loves to be rocked to sleep in it.
