I acted against reason and purchased this beautiful swing even though other reviewers had noted that the swing is not strong.  And I paid the price! After 6 months of use, the swing started to come apart.  And the warranty of three months is just the right amount of time before it starts to all fall apart.  This is not water resistant or weather resistant.  Deceptive description and marketing.  Please get your act together and stop fooling people.  This is too much money for having no recourse for a defective and unfit for purpose product.
