My grandmother had a glider that we used to rock on at her house.  Now we have one for our grandchildren to rock on.  Even though the teak wood is beautiful, we chose to paint it to minimize upkeep.  We were pleasantly surprised how easy it was to assemble and how smooth it rocks, even with two adults sitting on it. Also, even though we did not use the +1 hardware pieces, it was nice to have them just in case.  I have ordered other items in the past that were missing pieces, and it some of those times it was a pain to get replacements. 

Great job engineering a wonderful rocker!
