Arrived quickly. It definitely takes 2 to assemble it. Assembly was relatively simple, except that the 2mysterious pieces that stick out of the back panel had NO step included as to where to connect them to any other pieces. The back panel is not secured to anything until we decided to try & force these 2 pieces in a very contorted way into a hole in the side panel. As Not intuitive as can be. We also came up short one nut…so a trip to HDepot & a day later, assembled. So far we love it. It’s key to follow the instructions completely (unless there aren’t any ☹️) esp. regarding don’t tighten until…I love everything about this glider, especially the color (red). It would have been a challenge for me to put it together as I am not mechanically talented. Its definitely a two person job. My husband and his friend had it together in about 2 hours. It glides quietly and evenly. It looks great on my porch with a pair of red metal chairs.I love this bench and am glad I bought it. But, it was difficult to put together. The holes were not finished out so we had to purchase a tap to do it ourselves. I was able to put the base and seat together on my own but it took two of us to connect those two pieces together because it wasn’t quite aligned correctly. The directions were not 100% accurate either. Overall though, if you have patience, it’s a good piece.I like the sturdiness of the glider and it definitely has the retro vibe. Just what I wanted. BUT. It's difficult to assemble, make sure you have 2 people. Instructions are 2 dimensional and attaching armrests to bench/back combo is difficult - I had to use a clamp and board to get holes to line up. But it is sturdy once assembled. Biggest issue for me is it was damaged in several places, presumably during shipping. Big dent on seat is most prominent. Chipping in a few places across the top backrest are also prominent as was a bit of denting on armrest (not pictured). Once you unpack this heavy monster and get all the many, many parts laid out for assembly, the thought of repacking and sending back didn't seem worth the frustration. So if you don't mind paying a decent price (by comparison) for what is essentially a scratch and dent product, this could work for you. UPDATE: After contacting the seller, they were very responsive in providing me with several options to resolve, one of which I accepted. I appreciated the quick response and fair resolution from them.Very hard to put together. It is comfortable. Not sure how long it will last. But it looks great!!!I love the look of this glider. It was simple to put together for 2 people to do. Took us 30 minutes tops. Hopefully it will hold up for a very long timeCannot be assembled without item C on parts list. A piece was not welded to this item. Glider cannot be assembled. Please send complete item.Product shoukd have never been left at my property. The box was torn and ripped open. Obvious visible dent on the product. The glider was difficult to put together with poor instructions. Complained to amazon, but it was purchased through a 3rd party. Nothing was done about it. Apparently I'm stuck with it. I would not purchase from this seller
