I'm a 130 pound - 25 year old; I put it together by myself and only took an hour to do ((only because I kept getting distracted by my show I was watching while putting it together)) but WOW the reviews said it was hard to do by yourself or you need 2 people to assemble.... ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Having previously had to standard 'park benches' which were eroded and downgraded by UK winters, it was time for a different product. Found this, and after a lot of evaluation decided to buy. First shock, next day delivery. Everything was very nicely packaged, and it was possible to assemble with one person, and the tools supplied, though I did use a 10" ring spanner as this was easier for me. I was very pleased after final assembly, has a lovely swing forwards and backwards motion without being unstable or too easy to rock. Only time will tell regarding durability.
I like the swing size and how it glides, but there is a hard bar in the middle which can be uncomfortable if you sit on it wrong. It gets very hot in the sun so you need a cover to keep it cool.I had it for a little over a month- it rained a couple times and there are few spots that rust started to form. (I did buy a cover at that time).The mesh seat has started to sink some from light usage
Great glider for a great price! Was pretty simple to assemble. I did so by myself. Has been very sturdy and I have been enjoying using it in my sunroom. Pretty comfortable too, but if you wanted, you could definitely add a cushion for more comfort.
This is a great glider for our back porch. Does not take up a lot of space, sturdy and super easy to put together. Only thing is the bar in the middle is hard on the bottom so definitely get a pad. With the pad added it's perfect!
