Very comfortable and attractive,
I’m very pleased with this glider. Looks good, very comfortable to sit in, and the gliding action is smooth. I found it to be a good value for the money.
Putting it together is not too bad, but you’ll want to set aside an hour or so. Before assembly, I coated the wood slats with an exterior polyurethane to keep them water/weather resistant (it’s a gift for my Mom, and she will most likely leave it outside year-round). If you plan on protecting the wood with poly or an oil finish such as tung oil you should definitely do so prior to assembly – takes a fraction of the time.
The hardware packets are labeled and referenced in the assembly instructions, so finding the right bolt/piece is pretty easy. My only complaints are minor: the assembly sheet could use bigger type and bigger illustrations; and two of the bolt holes in the metal bars were not fully drilled through. A quick pass with a drill got rid of the metal shavings that were blocking the holes.
Overall material quality seems good. I expect it will last many years with minor maintenance.

|Comfortable outdoor glider,
I already owned two of these chairs for several years and ordered two more because they are so comfortable to sit in. Standard shipping was quick and chairs were received several days earlier than the estimate. The only drawback is that they have to be assembled. However, anyone can do it by following the instructions. I saved several dollars ordering online versus buying in the store.

|Great outdoor glider!,
I ordered this chair with the free Super Saver Shipping option, but it still made it in only 3 days from Indiana to Texas. It took about an hour to assemble. Like many products, the instructions made a few assumptions to keep the assembly manual to a reasonable size, but it was pretty easy to figure out based on the illustrations and picture on the box. The only tools I used were a hammer, 7/16″ socket wrench, and flat blade screwdriver. A power driver would save several minutes of assembly time since there are dozens and dozens of nuts and bolts. The only “problem” I had, per se, was one of the holes in the square tubing frame behind the third wood slat down from the top was punched/drilled at an angle. I just took a screwdriver, inserted it through the hole, and slightly elongated it so the bolt would go through. Everything else lined up perfectly. I’m very picky and hard to please, but if this chair holds up for at least a few years, then I’ll be extremely pleased. I’ve been looking for a single outdoor glider/rocker for years, but there aren’t many on the market. I bought 8 folding rockers from a motor home supply place several years ago. They were made of metal, plastic, and fabric. ALL 8 of them failed in exactly the same way – the backs came un-rivited from the arms and the chair would collapse into a piece of garbage. This glider, however, initially appears to be well-designed.
Update: Just received my second one on 5/2/11 after being so satisfied with the first one. It appears to be well-designed and is holding up well. It took exactly one hour and fifteen minutes from unboxing to complete assembly – a little longer than the first one because I followed the instructions more carefully this time rather than assembling it “my own way”. BE CAREFUL not to overtighten the bolts that secure the boards – particularly the boards that are attached to curved areas of the frame as they will split if over-tightened!
