Baltic 4-foot Garden Bench Glider

The glider came in great shape & already stained, very nice looking. Glides ok my husband had to loosen the screws a bit because at first they were a bit tight & it wasn't gliding smoothly. The directions were just a picture but my husband put it together pretty quickly. All in all a good buy & I'm happy with my purchase.

After unpacking, I noticed that one of the main wooden pieces was broken. Overstock did a good job of sending out a replacement. Most of the wood pieces have a nice dense feel. But a few of the pieces look/feel like a different wood than the shorea -- kind of looks (less grain) and feels (noticeably lighter) like stained pine. The gliding mechanism is smooth but without much of a range of motion. Instructions are horrible. Definitely needs some weatherproof finishing if kept outdoors.

Good quality seating for 2. Assembly involved. Heavy to move for one person but we will put a cover over it and leave it on our cement patio for the winter. Mfg should provide a ' metal brad type foot' for the leg bottom so the wood does not sit on the ground directly. Otherwise, good quality/price.

This bench looks pretty good once assembled. The only bad thing is that there were some rough edges that we had to sand a little and we did put a waterproof sealant on it so that it is a bit more weatherproof. It is pretty comfortable but I would suggest getting a cushion if you are planning on sitting on it for more than 15 minutes. It glides wonderfully.
