It was easy to set up if you properly look at the diagram and read what to do. It is comfy and can hold me (175lbs) it can also hold my dad (200lbs). I bring it outside whenever I want to enjoy the good weather, I wouldn't leave it outside because of the material it's made of.The metal loops attached to the rope have fallen off multiple times. I'm not sure whether that's good or bad, but I just pop them back on so the rope doesn't wear out too bad.
