I really like this swing for the price. There are a couple of cracks in the wood but they are very small. I wish the hardware to hang it came with it.

This porch swing is fantastic! It is an awesome deal for the price and it is extremely comfortable. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a good deal in a porch swing!

FYI - You can get the chain and hardware from OSH and it only takes a few screws to finish putting it together.

The swing was very precisely build for log. All the holes were in exactly the right place. The cedar planks were nicely cut showing beautiful grain. Assembly was a 20 minute project, no twisting or torquing required. Recommend a power screwdriver. Simple, fast and good looking. Spouse pleased.
I purchased the swing with amazon prime shipping. Boy what a deal $3.99 for next day delivery of a 100 lb item, great for tardy shoppers. Amazon prime paid for itself with this purchase.

Love it.....one of my favorite purchases on amazon...wife and kids like it....solid construction....comfortable to sit in.....

This is a first rate product, easy to assemble, comfortable and well made, good value.... The box arrived a little beatup, but the contents survived.

This swing is contoured under your legs unlike many wooden swings that hurt under your knees. I only wish the hardware was available with it.

I SO LOVE THIS SWING! MY 16 YEAR OLD SON STAINED AND SEALED IT AFTER MY HUSBAND PUT IT TOGETHER. THE HUSBAND HUNG IT AT THE WRONG ANGLE, SO WHEN HE WENT OUT OF TOWN, I FIXED THE ANGLE MYSELF...LOVE IT. YOU WILL TOO. JUST BE SURE TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE OF THE ANGLE BEFORE YOU HANG IT. THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT CLEAR ON THIS MATTER.

This swing is not only sturdy but it is beautiful too. The cedar will protect it from bugs. Customer service is great, I had 2 seat panels damaged in the front, you talk to real people and they are very nice, sent the replacements out right away too. It is easy to put together but it is heavy so it takes more than one person to hold pieces and put the screws in. The seat and back are assembled, it is only the arms and posts that need to be put on. Don't make the slant of the poles any more than they recommend or it will make the swing tilt too far. You will probably need a drill the post holes didn't quite match up for the upright post. We already had hardware for a swing so that was no problem. This is comfortable to sit in also, the seat is curves to make it comfortable. The only thing I would have liked is if they would have made the boards just a little more smooth, it needs some finish sanding..

While this product is listed as a 5-foot swing, and the dimensions are described as 66-inches in width on Amazon, the swing is actually wider. Due to the unusual design with the supports to either side of the swing arms, the swing is actually 70.5-inches wide. Add in the two hex bolts that protrude from those supports, and it's nearly six-feet across, a far cry from the 66-inches in the item description.

It is a fine item, well-built and seemingly very comfortable, but because it was wider than described, it wouldn't fit properly on my porch, and I had to return it to Amazon. I've ordered the four-foot version instead (which I presume will be nearly five-feet across when assembled). Hopefully Amazon will update the dimensions in the item description.

Even Lakeland Mills' site gets the width dimension correct:

Got this for my husband as a Father's Day gift & couldn't be happier. It went together fairly easily, it's sturdy, comfortable, and looks great on our porch! I was amazed that we got it hung the same day that we opened it. All we had to do was run to the hardware store to pick up the chains (we already had hooks in place in the ceiling). I'm looking forward to getting some of the matching furniture to go with it, it's got a great rustic look, but well-made. Love it!
