I love my new glider. I'm giving it five stars because it is exactly what I wanted and it looks great and glides smoothly. I'm not taking off for the assembly process because the other reviews effectively set my expectations and I knew what I was getting myself into. There is a 3-minute Youtube video pointing out the potential trouble spots and it proved to provide incredibly valuable information. You can also go online and find the same set if instructions that come with the parts but you can make out a lot more if you look at it on a screen. (Note: I picked up these to tips from other reviewers and I am thankful for them because I would not have been able to complete this without those pointers.)My only advice is, put this together when you have the time and patience to do it. Take advantage of the on-line reference material and don't lose any pieces. You don't get any extras so if a nut rolls into a crevice, you need to retrieve it.Also, I assembled it by myself so it just takes one person.
