We love our new Raffeal Rocking Bench! It arrived pretty quickly (about 5 days). The seats are quite comfortable and it glides well. Just to make it even more cushy, we ordered some plush outdoor chair cushions from Wayfair for the back and seat of each chair. These chairs are fine without the cushions; we just wanted the additional comfort and splash of color. Initially, we were going to buy a free-standing swing but our deck is only 12' x 12' and the swing would have been about 8' x 8' (too large for a small deck). The glider leaves us plenty of room for other chairs, potted plants, etc.
