This glider was exactly what we were looking for. The delivery was made in a timely manner, and was packaged with great care not to damage the parts. I'm 70 years old and assembled it myself in about an hour after the parts were unpackaged. I left the back off when assembling the seat to the glider base because of the weight. Then I secured the back. With two people, the instructions could be followed step by step. The glide is great and smooth. The bench is sturdy and comfortable, not to mention it looks great. The weather resistant aspects will be appreciated years from now.
