We really like the style of the swing, and it is overall comfortable. However, soon after we started using it the stain started to chip off. It's now chipped so bad we're either going to have to strip/re-stain it (if that's possible), or get rid of the swing altogether because it looks terrible. We've had the swing up for just over a year, and it's been on our porch which is covered (therefore no exposure to direct sunlight or rain). It's really disappointing, and we now cover the swing seat with a blanket when we have guests over because it looks so bad.
