I already commented on my old review but I want to make sure folks are aware of Lifetime's great customer service. After emailing customer service about my broken slats they sent me all new slats for my glider and I am so over the top appreciative of the great service. Thank you Lifetime.

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.

I bought my glider about 2 years ago. It has sit outside on my back patio ever since. It is still in great shape especially since it has been outside though the hot summers as well as the cold winters here in Utah. Even after all of that it still works like the day I bought it. I would say it isn't the most comfortable bench I have ever sat on but at the same time it is most definitely not the worst I have sat on either. I like to smooth gliding motion it has. Again even after all this time it is still just as smooth as it ever has been. Overall I think its a great product.

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 had to contact 'Lifetime' due to one of the caps that protects one of the ends of the tubes. I was quickly supplied with a replacement quickly- thanks! The glider itself we really like too! (Shipping problem, not Lifetime's! It's well packaged but FedEx managed to break it.)

Description of bench led me to believe seating surface was plastic wood (Polystyrene) as listed in the specifications and product description. The seating surfaces and back are wood grain painted metal tubes. The construction of the entire bench is solid. I will wait to see how well the metal holds up in direct sunlight and if it dents or deforms in daily use.

I have 2 of your gliders and they are great outdoors. I had the rubber feet wear out or fall out on them (so far 2 on each one). I sent an email and got a response from your techs and got 8 new rubber feet in the mail. Great service. We really like the gliders.

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.

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.

I bought a Lifetime glider that had been sitting on someone's very narrow front porch for about 6 years. We proceeded to sit it in front of our house, under a edge of a Japanese maple for another 5 years. We then moved it some land we bought deep in the country where it has now been sitting for another 6 years. Sure, the surface is looking a bit rougher but it still glides smoothly and does not have any rust. And I have never lubricated any of the moving parts. I am a Lifetime Products customer for life and about to buy one of the storage sheds!
