We needed to replace the bench on an intact swing set frame. This seat fits nicely, it is sturdy and easy to assemble. We added the cushions for comfort rather than sit directly on metal, although the seat is nicely contoured. I would caution anyone sitting on ours about big swinging since the chains could allow side to side motion hitting the frame. The chains were designed to hang from a beam, but ours a 20+ feet up there.
