It wasn’t hard to assemble. Got it done in about an hour. We bought it for our patio. I am a little disappointed in it because of a couple things. One, the cover on the top lost one of its holding pieces within a week and now the cover can’t be held on unless I go buy another plastic piece and sew it myself. Second, we bought the royal blue color and it faded VERY FAST. Now it’s just a washed out blue. Cover on the seat doesn’t dry very fast either after it rains so watch out when you sit on it a couple days after a shower. You will get wet. The rest seems durable. It is comfortable and gently moves to relax you.
