Very good glide motion on this bench.  Just right.  However, one of the pivot bolt holes arrived pinched, so one of the bolts was left out about 1/2 inch.  I will just have to drill out the offending thread hole and drop in a helicoil.  But really, don't these companies do any quality control?  Aside from that, the look is good and the bench is solid, and as I said the glide motion is perfect for a porch sitting evening.
