I was so excited about this product. We purchased 3 swings and 2 gliders for our outdoor fire pit surround. When I read through the assembly instructions, it states that it is not for outdoor use and is best suited for indoor or covered areas. Nowhere in the description does it say this! The stain is very inconsistent and the polyurethane has chips, cracks and crazing. The design and comfort are beautiful! The quality is something you would buy at a sale for items that didn't make the first run quality. I will undoubtedly have to refinish them next year.
