I bought this for Mother’s Day and put it together yesterday. Plan on 2-3 hours but it will help to have a partner. The tools you just throw away as tgey are useless. The screws will need a locking wrench to hold them while you screw in the other side and for nuts just get a wrench set. I wish all screws were hex as some were Phillips and one stripped and I will gave to come back to tighten it with pliers later on tge screw and nut. It looks great when it is done.

This glider sits too low to the ground and the back is also so short that it isn't comfortable. It is okay if you are 5 ft. tall or okay for children. Wouldn't buy a second one but now that we put it together and sent the box off to the trash I guess we own it.

My bench arrived with a broken slat in the seat assembly otherwise it was easy to assemble, very solid, sturdy,and attractive. I am writing because I received fast and excellent customer service from lifetime. Not only did they quickly send me a new slat they sent the whole seat assembly. These guys really stand by their product. Buy this bench with confidence!

First let me preface my review by saying this glider looks exactly as I wanted it to - just as I'd envisioned. Second, its very comfortable, and in the two weeks we've had it, I'm pleased - sort of. Might I suggest if you purchase this item, just go ahead and pick you up several packages of #10 x 1 in pan head Phillips stainless sheet metal screws because you're gonna need them. The day after we assembled the glider the first slat came up because they use cheap screws it just split in half (the screw not the slat), leaving the bottom portion of the screw where it had to be dug out of the board. We fixed it with above mentioned screws. A couple of days later, same thing happened, and then again today. I figure by the time we replace all 24 CHEAP screws, our glider will be good to go (hopefully). Anyway, my review is still a good one as I'm pleased with the comfort and look. They just probably would have been as well off just sending it in a smaller box with assembly required. BTW, I'm surprised we even got all the parts, bad screws and all, as the box was pretty much giving the appearance it had been stuck on a conveyor belt and shredded. Still trying to contact the customer service to send a couple of plastic bolt covers for the "squashed" ones, but apparently they're still self- isolating.

We had this in our backyard for just over two years because the "wood" slats started lifting and screws began falling out. It was placed on our patio, under a gazebo, where it would be protected from the weather. It still glides fairly well with only slight squeeking but we really don't use it because we can't fix the slats! We had outdoor patio furniture made of the same material that's going on seven years but this is rusty and not useful.

I just assembled this today. It is very sturdy, finish is very good, and the assembly instructions are some of the best I've had in more than 20 years. Excellent instructions and easy to assemble. You may need a second person to install the seat to the legs or the back to the legs. This bench is heavy (which means it is heavy duty).

It is beautiful,looks very expensive and classy

Very nice, comfortable and durable.

Packaging a little flimsy.

Not hard to put together but having a second pair of hands is helpful. Good and strong.
