Backyard Discovery 55" Cedar Wood Farmhouse Outdoor Porch Swing Bench with Two-Person Seating, Durable Hanging Chains, Water-Resistant, Heavy-Duty 600 Lbs Weight Capacity for Patio, Deck, Garden

Excellent product with detailed assembly instructions. Recommended as a two person job but I assembled it in four hours solo with the assistance of some clamps. Smelled amazing as soon as I opened the box. I gave it a coat of cedar oil before hanging. Very sturdy swing.

I was hesitant to have to put together the swing as curious if the instructions would be worthwhile. After receiving the box - the instructions were very well written explaining each step in great detail. The 10 star rating (lol) was that each wood item was marked and each assembly part (screws and bolts) were separately bagged. Incredible job at writing the instructions and marking the wood items and parts. Another plus was the tools for use with a cordless drill was included. Ok so giving 5 stars now bc the 2nd swing was much easier on the assembly of the wood had some issues with the back “X” section as it didn’t fit precisely as intended. I had to force and hammer a few seconds if the back “X” into place and will still have to use a Dremmel to make a minor alteration to one of the X’s in order for it to fit snuggly. I would buy again and in fact bought two of the swings. The total build time took about 3 hours as I assembled while watching Vanderbilt baseball game and the final round of the RBC Herirage PGA event. Figure the actual time would be about 1 hr if not distracted by tv (lol) Build time for 2nd swing was about 1.5hrs Suggestion to buyers - as you move through the first couple steps of attaching wood - only use 1 screw per slat and don’t tighten them down also don’t tighten the bolt on the first step all the way down on bottom brace support and back support so you have some free movement in the boards when you are assembling the “X” pattern. This worked well as once the X brace back was positioned it was a breeze to go back and tighten the screws and bolts All in all would highly recommend this product Love the cedar smell too.

Great swing, comes with all the tools and bits for your drill. I went ahead and stained with Australian Timber oil. Take your time putting together and it will come out great.

Good value for the money. All the hardware was included except for swing mounts to a joist. However the pilot holes for the assembly are not accurate. Quality control seems pretty lazy. I would also recommend not screwing in the lower back rest pieces until the cross braces are placed because the miss aligned pilot holes will leave things off centered. All in all it’s nice and sturdy for the price.

Really liked the way this turned out. Pretty easy to build and looks great. The whole family enjoys this bench.

Beautiful swing. Smells great. I did end up purchasing a swing hardware set with springs. I would recommend the spring hardware set so when you sit down it has a little give. I didn’t realize the screw but with the limiter so you don’t screw too deep, but was careful enough without it. The wood is fairly soft but sturdy. Make sure you lay the pieces the correct way as they have pre drilled holes that I though some were messed up, but they were just the wrong way. The X back was a little tricky because I did it without looking at the instructions and it didn’t line up right, but that was my fault. This is a great swing. Hopefully it’ll hold up for many years.

Love it.

easy assemble, good sturdy bench

Easy to install and it looks beautiful.

I really love this bench, goes together nicely but takes 2-3 hours. When tightening the bolts with the sockets, it’s very easy to over tighten and have the bolts recessed into the wood. Be careful with over tightening, I almost forgot.

The swing is very well made & comfortable to sit on. It looks great!

Arrived quick. Looks to be a solid swing.

Super cute and easy to adsemble!
