This swing is solid! Surprisingly easy to assemble and it feels so sturdy and well built! My 2 kids immediately claimed it as theirs. I cannot wait until summer when we can set it up out on our front porch. My only complaint is I really wish there were some straps on the cushions that could be attached to swing so they wouldnt slide off so easily. But I think I can create some myself. All in all I would highly recommend this swing!
