We replaced a flimsier swing with this new one, and appreciate the heftier construction. Assembly was straightforward and easy with two people working together. We found that the seat back leaned too far back as first assembled, but it was no problem to adjust the back section of chain to make it sit more upright. We have a high ceiling on our porch, but the included chain was sufficiently long. I was first drawn to the curvy lines and contoured seat, and it is just as attractive in person. My only aesthetic complaint is that the seat slats are attached to the base with screws - the heads are recessed and painted but still visible. That's an acceptable trade-off for the sturdy construction. Most importantly, the swing is very comfortable.
