Average Rating: Rating: - Definitely worth the money I purchased this item during the 50% off clearance sale... For that price, the glider is unbeatable... I did have to reread the instructions a couple of times, but they were clearer than anything I've gotten from IKEA. Why four stars then? Although all the hardware components were there(a first in my home-assembly furniture experience), I was missing a couple of key pilot holes. The final baseplate sitting on the underside of the seat and the seatback did not have pilot holes to guide me. Typically this isn't an issue, but the pilot holes would have helped me be sure I was putting the baseplate in the correct spot. Also, I had to redrill some of the bolt holes. They just weren't deep enough. Again, it's only a pain when you've already screwed the 4 inch bolt into place and it's 1/4" short of flush. Remember, this is a cedar bench. It's not teak; it's not mahogany. It's not intended to stand up to heavy duty use. Sit on it carefully. Do not flop down on it, do not let your kids roughhouse on it, and it should do fine. Rating: - American Woods Windsor Collectin Loveseat Glider Having read other reviews of this glider before I ordered, I felt I was somewhat prepared for what I got. This was not meant to be a piece of fine furniture. The cedar was rough in many places and obviously pieced together from ends and scraps. Instructions say you should plan on sealing your glider within the first year of use. I anticipated that the manufacturer's oil sealer would not be the quality I wanted, so I sanded every part, then applied 3 coats of my own sealer before I ever assembled the glider. I believe I increased both the value and the life-span this way. It went together fairly easily; having a cordless drill helped immeasurably. I am now making cushions for the back, as it is slightly uncomfortable without some kind of padding. Really, I love it now, but it took some work to get it to that point. By the way, I got a much better price than is being offered now. I suggest holding out til spring. Rating: - Look Before You Glide This product seemed to be a good value after shopping around. While this glider does glide fairly well (you don't mind a little creaking do you?), we found it confusing to put togther. There are two major concerns however: 1. A year later, the back slats have all separated from the grooves into which they went when first put together. Trust me, they're not ever going back from whence they came. 2. It annoyed me that not much longer after I purchased this (at a sale price); it appeared at a much lower price. My advice is if you don't need it right away, keep checking the pricing to get the best buy. This glider gets the job done, but don't kid yourself into thinking it's going to provide you with years of gliding pleasure.
