Impressed with the materials used for this glider. Will not rot like our previous wooden glider! Assembly instructions were not in package and must be secured via Lifetime website. Packaging for glider needs to be improved as I had to repair bent screws. The pivot bars have tack welds that will break if not attached gently. Expect this glider to survive exposed to the elements.

Generally I am a huge fan of lifetime products, but not this one. The boards started popping loose and twisting the first year. Basically we will have to replace the slats or throw it away. I love my other lifetime products just don't buy the glider, it won't last.

I bought this for our new deck and I love that the bronze finish matches the bronze spindles on our deck. The box arrived a little beat up (probably the fault of the shipping company) and there were two missing bolts and two defective parts. I called customer service and they sent out replacement parts right away.

Poor material durability: The all weather powder coated finish is rusting off after only 1 California rainy winter. In addition, the screws that fasten the plastic planks to the frame continually rust and have to be replaced. See photos. Flawed bearing design: The glider sits on sets of bearing sleeves which are poorly designed and keep failing. The inner sleeve strips out and I have had to rig up a solution using several sets of washer and some concave bicycle brake shoe washers. See photo. Flawed construction: The screws that attach the plastic planks to the frame are inadequate. Too short, misaligned to the pre-drilled holes and rust prone. The back and forth movement of the glider causes the boards to continually pop out and I have had to re-screw, re-drill or glue the boards back down. See photo.

I picked this bench out as a graduation gift years ago. It is in great condition after several moves (not too heavy to move around either), and being exposed to the weather over the last 5 years. I love the faux wood look, without the need to upkeep actual wood. This is so great to just sit on and glide/rock for a while. It is such a relaxing bench, and when I had my newborn, we would enjoy the fresh air out on it almost every night with her. It was a great purchase, and it still looks brand new, after all this time.

We bought two Lifetime Glider Benches for our cabin and we should have bought more because those are the chairs everybody fights to sit in! We love them. They glide so smoothly and they are comfy! Plus they withstand extreme weather conditions and still look like new.

as i live in the uk i was finding it hard to get replacement parts for the glider bench ,i sent an email to lifetime.com explaining my situation , they sent the replacement part free of charge ,they arrived safely and the glider bench is back working as good as new many many thanks to all for your help ,i am very grateful for your help

I purchased this on May 13, 2020. I didn't put it together for about a week. It was sat on about twice and the next time it was used I noticed that a screw holding the slats on had broken. I noticed that others had this issue. Maybe there is something wrong with the design. If that could be fixed, it would be a really nice bench. I hope my husband can figure out a way to make it work.

We own many Lifetime pieces but this is my favorite! It sits in the west facing sun and still looks amazing despite the sun beating down on it daily. It provides a nice and relaxing place to spend the summer nights (once the sun has gone down) and enjoy the sunsets.

I purchased this Glider for my wife about a month ago. It had some damage due to shipping. This probably caused a problem with attaching the back of the seat to one of the arms and also attaching the glider to the right side of the base platform. I was not a happy camper at that point and called the company and explained what had happened when I tried to assemble it. I received an email from a very nice lady in customer service that went out of her way to resolve the problem. She offered me some options and in the end I elected to receive a new glider as one of the options. I am glad I did. When it arrived I looked it over and it appeared to be in good condition. It was easy to assemble and only took around 30 minutes to complete. It's nice looking and seems to be well built and my wife loves it! Not much else I can say about the glider. I gave it 5 stars even though I had some problems because it's worthy of the rating and the company's customer service is definitely worthy of the same! I would buy it again. The Lifetime Company is definitely a class act company that stands behind their product.
