Glider is exactly as pictured, and nice looking addition to our deck....however, it was not easily put together. It definately takes help from a second person and needed to use our own crescent wrench to finish tightening nuts as the included wrench bent. Directions were all picturediagram form. It did not glide with 2 people seated ....seat area scraped frame. Was able to remedy the situation by purchasing a larger bolt to raise seat frame from glide mechanism.
