Amazon.com Review Introduce an element of classic charm to any outdoor area with this cedar love seat glider that's ideal for admiring sunsets or enjoying an afternoon lemonade. Crafted from beautiful western red cedar, the love seat is 50-3/4 inches wide and 25 inches deep, and it glides with perfect smoothness on solid plated hardware. Sealed with a clear preserve to weather rain and snow, the cedar with mortise-and-tenon joinery will last for years to come. The love seat's design is stunning and sturdy, easily holding two adults or three children. Manual assembly takes about an hour, but power tools will shorten assembly to roughly 30 minutes. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

Careful that you compare more than price. Sturdy Construction also matters.

outdoor loverJune 9, 2004 Not a bad little glider for the price. It was a little smaller than I had invisioned, but it will work. It was easy to put toether acording to my Husband but He did have to do a little alteration as one part didn't line up. He also added that the wood that was pieced together was done so in the correct way and it would add to the durability. I guess the bottom line is you get what you pay for and in this case , and in this day and age it was worth the money.
ours is holding up well...December 3, 2003 16 out of 16 found this review helpful
I agree with many of the reviewers who noted that the assembly instructions for this glider could use improvement (though I was able to put it together by myself in about an hour with little difficulty) and the overall quality of the wood is only average. But, that said, ours has held up to two years of steady use on a covered porch with no noticeable problems. The glider mechanism is still very smooth, and the wood is not showing any stress or strain. Bottom line, if you want a perfect, solid wood glider you should expect to pay quite a bit more. But for the price, this is a perfectly fine bench.
Its pretty, but that's all its got going for itSeptember 11, 2003 49 out of 49 found this review helpful
We loved the look of this bench and put it on our Amazon wedding registry. When we received it as a gift, we were annoyed that one of the arm units was split at the grain. The company quickly sent us a new one and it then took 2 people several hours to assemble. We put it on our screened-in porch and enjoyed it for a month or so, and then the cracking began. We discovered quickly that the seat slats were made from several pieces of wood fused together and then veneered, thus the source of the creeking and cracking. Shortly after that the back slats all detached from the seat, which made it easy to see that they were put together with glue and a few staples. This beautiful gliding loveseat, assembled in April, is now sitting in our basement in August, waiting to be repaired or thrown out. A huge waste of money that could of been used for a solid wood seat that would last more than a few months.
It's pretty, but that's where the good news endsAugust 25, 2003 18 out of 20 found this review helpful
We loved how this gliding loveseat looked on Amazon, so we put it on our wedding registry wish list and recieved it as a shower gift in April. When we opened the box, the left arm piece was split in two right at the grain. The company sent us a new one within a week, which was nice of them, but soon after the piece was assembled, the noises began. The glider hardware itself works great, but when anyone would sit down,we all could hear the disheartening sound of wood cracking. We just assembled it in April, kept it on a screened-in porch, and today in late August we sat on it together and the back slats all came detached from the seat. Looks like the slats were not even nailed in but STAPLED, and the cracking sound came from the seat slats, which were bits of wood dovetailed together. Compared to our porch swing made of solid planks of cedar and costs twice as much and made by another company, remember that you're getting what you pay for. It looks gorgeous on our porch, but too bad we can't sit in it.
