I purchased this swing last summer because the wood one we had finally was looking really bad. I decided to go with Iron because we live in Virginia where in the spring everything gets covered with pollen and its just a hassle to have to scrub wood swings clean. I was so pleased when receiving this. Very high quality and put a cushion and couple of pillows and its beautiful. No more scrubbing for me. Quick hose off and it looks brand new. Do not think to hard about this one. Its GREAT.
