Well made and sturdy. Easy to assemble. The issue is the top bar that goes along the back sticks out 1.5 inches. If you lean back it hurts. Could not get comfortable. I assembled and returned. Refund was fast. Shame about the back support.

My other 7 chairs and table were easy to put together like a big heavy lego set. I have actually assembled this exact glider before at my mom's house and then got one for myself. The glider I put together for mom was easy and everything fit.I don't know if it is a different line of lower quality that polywood sells through amazon but there is no possible way these parts go together. We are about to get out the drill. Yes, I 100% know what I am doing and no, these holes don't match up. This started failing on step 3.It's the same price and shipping speed just to buy it direct through polywood, just saying. Not sure why this one is so much different than my other ones but I do have questions about why this is the first furniture that was impossible to put together without power tools.

Should last a lifetime. Well built; comfortable glider

I love the sturdiness of glider and the maintenance free finish. I did not like having to put it together however I shopped a long time at many different places and this was by far the best quality

Super comfy to relax outdoors on

I suggest you bring a rubber hammer and a Allen head screw driver to the party. Ordered two. They are slightly different in the way they were manufactured. One had a slot for the back of the middle seat support. The second had a little "j" groove on the supports for the back that the seat engages upon tightening. One person can do this. Suggest you start by standing the seat vertical and attach the side piece. Then roll the attached side down with something soft under it. I used a door mat. It was easier for me to work from the top down.You might have to loosen the seat slats to engage the holes (I did on both sides) for the 1 1/2 chair bolts. Slip the back into the slots. Here is where a rubber hammer and screw driver ( for prying) come into play. If you can get one of the sides with the screws in and the top bolt, you should be able to partially rock the glider seat up enough to start to screws. You may have to loosen what you have tightened to rack to pieces together. Make sure you see the screw holes in good light by slipping the screw in the hole then pry or lift the side pieces until you can see the screw point resting in the hole. The holes will line up. If they don't you don't have the back resting in the mitered slot al the way down. Some gentle rapping with the rubber hammer should do the trick. In one case I put the screw driver into the slot and pried the pieces until the line up then tapped them together. In another I rapped from the top of the back. Just expect some wiggling. You can fully tighten one side if you want, once, at least one side is in all the slots and the other side is at least close in the seat slot. Remember you didn't fully tighten the chair bolts (underside) until you can get the pieces in the chair back slots (at least both the seat slots are engaged and one top bolt). You can wrangle the last one in as long as it is close. As far as the glider parts, I did the same thing working from top down. Good idea to use some of the cardboard the rails came in as a support until you get the first rail tight. Flip and use your door mat again. I used one piece of the cardboard to keep my bolts and screws on. Remember to keep your parts within reach as you assemble. To assemble the glider to the bench, I set the bench on a brick ( one on each side of the front if you want). I never could find the right size of the hex wrench in my (60 plus) driver set. Must be an odd size. Could have cut a piece off. Go back an check tightness on all the bolts and screws. Expect about an hour. I put about 20 lbs of torque to check tightness and didn't break bolts or the wrench although the wrench did flex. A step stool is handy to sit down and sip some coffee as you work until your glider is ready. Ours faces East into the morning sun under a covered porch that sits up about three feet above grade. These gliders seem to be heavy enough to handle most winds. We have had a pressure treated picnic table to blow off our deck, so these won't handle every wind. We plan to set our on the ground above 60 mph. Can't find a matching rocking chair.

Sturdy, good looking & with minimal upkeep. Had a pro put it together so I can't comment on assembly.

Excellent quality, fairly easy to assemble, heavy in weight. Matches and porch railing nicely. Fast shipping
