What started out as an easy assembly turned out to be a nightmare. The swing itself was pretty easy to assemble but putting the awning top on was a complete joke. Extremely hard to pull tight enough to put it together it takes someone to hold the one side and at least 2 people on the other side to pull it to fit. Will not be buying another one like this.This product took over four hours to assemble. Several of the connections required significant brute strength to fasten- especially the canopy for which we had to get a very tall & strong friend who could barely do it. It seems fairly sturdy but time will tell. The cushions are very flimsy & cheap - we had to buy different cushions to make it comfortable. Make sure you look at the dimensions first & plan accordingly! When assembled, it is not a small piece and we will not be able to store it in our shed over the winter. We can’t put it in the garage as it won’t go through the gate to bring to the front of the house. We’ll see how it does with a tarp over it. I would not buy it again.For the price, this product absolutely satisfied my family. There is some effort to put it together, but it was worth it when complete.Also, the vendor made sure everything was in order, as well as followed up to ensure we were pleased.I'm not sure what the weight rating is on this, but so far, it has held almost 500 pounds of people lol! Anyway, I was slightly concerned about how big this swing would be when the box was delivered, but it is a good size. The instructions could have a little more explanation as we ended up needing to remove some parts to put them in the proper places after we had already put them where we thought they went. Beyond that, we are enjoying our swing and are sure to be seen on our porch quite often sitting in it when the weather stops being so cold.I am super happy with this swing..it is surprisingly sturdy for the price..I love the cooler compartment..it's comfortable and allows my 5 1' ft self and my 6'4 boyfriend to both fit great. It is super cute..cushions are thick..easy to put together..i can not say enough ..I am so happy we have been using it every day for about a week..it Arrived quickly although there was a problem with one of the parts..customer service was very quick to respond and pleasant and got another one sent out immediately. Which arrived super quick... recommend ?% so glad I went with this one?This is an EXCELLENT Product and for the Price, you CAN'T beat it!!!! What's cool about this is that it not only has TWO Cup Holders, but if you Rotate the Cup Holders, underneath there's a COOLER!!!! VERY Nice!! I can hold two people with EASE! (500 lbs Max). I actually think this was a VERY GOOD purchase and I highly recommend this product. The Seller and Delivery was Professional, FAST, and Well Packed! Completely PLEASED with this product!!!The swing was easy to assemble took about 30 minutes...the cushion are good but thinking about buying new ones just for color....had a Crack in the little table,reached out to customer service and they send a new one they reached out to me to make sure everything was good so their customer support team was amazing.....planning on buying another for My front porch......UPDATE I PURCHASED THE 2ND SWING AND ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT,customer service reached out again to make sure everything was good... I would recommend any product sold from this companyThis is a good product with the exception that the top canvas cover fades to an awful color. I should have listened to the reviews that said so and that there was no top replacement available but I was thinking because our sun is not that intense and a short season I would be ok. Notta. It faded horribly in 70 degree weather.
