I absolutely love this new swing. My porch is my refuge and Ophelia brought the perfect finishing touch to it. It was easy to put together. My friend and I did it with no issues. Another friend drilled the holes in the ceiling and hung the swing for me. It was definitely easier to have 3 people hanging the swing. Also you will need to purchase carabiners, round hooks, chain and ceiling hooks for it to hang. The long white seat cushion comes with the swing but regular outdoor pillows do not. All in all, this is really a beautiful swing for a very decent price.
