The glider arrived quickly in perfect condition. It took my husband and I both to hold pieces and put it together. We timed it and it took exactly an hour. We did end up using our own tools rather than the little cheesy tool included. The glider suits our needs as we placed it on the front porch of our 1930's renovated Craftsman-style home. We purchased it in red and just so you know ---- the red is not a true red but more of a toned down "pinkish" red. I think it states this in the product description as well. It is super sturdy and the quality honestly exceeded our expectations.
