I am very happy with this swing. It was pretty easy to assemble (took about 25 minutes). The mahoghony finish looks better than I expected. The instructions say that this swing is meant to be used indoors or under a covered porch. It would have been nice to know that when I ordered it because it is going on an open deck in Kansas. I plan to put a clear coat of Thompson's water seal on it soon. I didn't plan on that, but I'm going to keep the swing. It looks really nice, the wood is good quality, it fits my existing frame, and the price was great. The box arrived in 2 days. I was shocked at how fast it arrived! The only thing that could be improved is to add hooks that attach to a standing frame. The hooks that came with it are meant to screw into the ceiling.
