Not the sturdiest of porch swings. It was easy to put together but it's definitely not as durable as I would have hoped. But that's what I get for being cheap. If properly painted/stained/treated and stored away from the Ohio winter I could see this lasting a few porch seasons. But, this is not the purchase once and never buy again porch swing. Expect mediocrity and to repurchase within a short amount of time if left out in the elements.
