Well made and quite attractive. Some minor issues were handled by Wayfair with their usual thoroughness and high-end customer service. The seating position is inclined just enough and the 6 inch foam seating, a little stiff in the beginning, softens as you sit on it. Have not tried laying down on it yet. This is one of the widest benches I saw when researching Canopy Swings. Can easily fit three people with space in between. 1 person can assemble but 2 makes it easier. Very heavy, close to 190 pounds.
