This swing looks great, but isn't very sturdy. We painted white, which took a few coats to look even, and looks awesome. The problem is that my husband and I, who together weigh less than 300 pounds, sat on the bench a couple of times and broke the frontmost slat on the seat the third or fourth time we used it.  The listing specifies it has a 350 pound weight limit, but we did not find this to be true. It was a pain to paint and install, and now it's unusable. We'll probably end up leaving it up until we find a sturdier replacement.
