New Rating 4 Stars 81421 The swing is sturdy, well-designed and much admired by neighbors as well as relatively maintenance free.

While I love the look of this swing, the two star rating is from my husband who assembled the swing and had several complaints. Firstly, the metal parts broke out of the shipping bag and were scattered throughout the boxes the wood pieces were not adequately wrappedpadded and the paint chippedgouged parts not labeled and instructions inadequate. Good thing hes a retired aircraft mechanic, but less mechanically inclined might have problems. Once assembled, the swing is sturdy and looks great after I used a dark gray Sharpie to touch up the paint.
