I hung this swing from a strong wooden frame that was cemented into the ground on 6x6 posts. Thought it would last forever. After one season, the back broke off (exposed to weather and partial sun). It broke off with the pegs still in the holes. The pegs should have gone deeper. My husband always uses wood glue for pegs for added strength. Obviously glue won't last forever in weather, but without it, this would have broken even sooner. The pegs do not go in deep enough to support the swing back. My husband repaired it with screws, but it broke again. No way will this last 25-30 years as the description says! It got only minimal use but lasted just one season. Waste of money. Also the seat isn't that comfortable. The edges of the slats come up several inches from the knee (short seat) and it digs into the backs of your legs. You'll need a cushion to overcome this problem.

I was hurt when it fell apart. I put it together as instructed and waited a couple of days for the glue to dry. The 1 1/2" screws designed to hold the back and the seat together were not long enough and it came apart when I sat on it. I used more glue and 3" screws instead and now it is fine. DO NOT use the screws that come with the package. Buy heavy duty 3" screws instead.

Appearance and price were great. Construction was faulty as holes in arms and chair didn't line up. As I had already stained it I was unable to return it. Instructions were easy to read.

no directions. holes dont line up, had to drill my own. looks good now, but alot of extra work and noticable now.

Finish sanding a little lacking. Arm on one side off camber a little. NO directions. I am pretty good at assembly of items but I was left guessing a little.

Very shabby. Did not fit together without great difficulty. Wood is raw and uncomforatble to sit on. Fell apart twice since I put it together.

I have finally put my swing together, which it cracked when my husband was putting in the screw on the back ,but.... it said it might would do that. But over all it really is a beautiful swing but the wood is a little rough and it will definalty need to be sanded...it took about five working days to get here, which was fine. But I would recommend this swing to you because it is a nice swing and its pretty thick wood! Now if I can get it stained , it will be ready to sit in....Thanks overstock!!!!

Easy to put together with suggestions from my husband. Matches a bench that I bought previously. Was glad to see the swing offered. Very happy with both items. Will look for more items from same manufacturer.

Bought this for my grandaughter and myself to swing away the lazy summer afternoons. Hung it in a tree and that worked great. The swing is very sturdy but the seat is not deep enough therefore it cuts into the back of my legs and not very comfortable. I measured the width but not the depth. Overall not worth the money.
