Swing was relatively easy to assemble.  Tip...don't tighten screws, just start the screw in each of the designated spots.  This allows for some wiggling and adjusting so all can be inserted just a bit.  Once each screw is in place go back and tighten all.  The swing itself is decent quality, there is a middle support section that can be felt on the bottom and back of the swing if you don't sit to the right or left but it's a 2 person swing so not a big deal.  Cushion is adequate, not great but nice that a cushion comes with the swing and it can easily be recovered or accented with other throw pillows.  Chains included, short, other reviews say same, adding chain is not big issue either.
