I love the swing, and feel it's a good value for the money. The reason for 3 stars, is the fact that even though it was easy assembly, it was not without problems. Things were bent or not straight therefore causing problems with screws/bolts etc. My husband had to get a hammer to beat one of the things straight so the screw would fit straight and properly. In addition there were a few other little gliches we had to go around to put it together. I almost sent it back to exchange, but we fought with it and it worked. But it is a great swing, and hopefully yours won't have the defects mine had. So go ahead and get cha one! I love it
