When we first assembled and hung this swing on our porch I was excited about how comfortable it is.  The widely spaced slats on the back allow room for your spine. It also looked great....for the first week.  Then the paint began to crack and peel.  It's a covered porch so it sometimes gets a little sprinkle of water if it rains really hard, but that's it.  I think this has happened once or twice in the last month.  We will literally be lucky if this swing makes it to the end of the summer.  Don't waste your money on this product.  You will have either have to sand it down and repaint it or buy a new one every year.  Get one of the faux wood composite ones. We REALLY wish we had!
