I love the look of this swing. It's truly beautiful, and really elevates my front porch aesthetic. It seems sturdy, and smells great. Shipping was surprisingly quick, I was originally told I would get the swing a few months later and instead it shipped within a few days of my order, so that was a plus! It only gets 4 stars because some of the pilot holes for the back pieces were not drilled in the correct places, and I had to drill my own. Also my husband and I are tall (over 6'0") and the back of the swing hits at a weird spot on our backs, so while it's nice to sit on for short bursts, I can't spend too much time on it at one time. That isn't a design flaw, just something good to know for taller buyers. Overall very happy with this purchase. I love it.
