This swing is exactly as pictured. The finish is rich and it is very light weight. I read this material is very study but we haven't had it long enough (2 weeks) for me to judge that yet. Based on the confirmation from the manufacturer that it CAN be put outside without shelter that's what I've done. It's very pretty with the rocking chair style bottom. I bought the 5' version which is the longer one and seats 3. I kind of wish I had a 4-seater though. 

Pros: Rich finish color, lightweight, Easy to swing
Cons: Doesn't have a sturdy look
