VINGLI Upgraded Patio Wooden Porch Swing for Courtyard & Garden, Heavy Duty 880 LBS Swing Chair Bench with Hanging Chains for Outdoors (Brown, 4 FT)

Slightly time consuming to assemble but I assembled by myself - hung with a helper! It’s a beautiful swing. Very sturdy, weather resistant, and of course pretty to look at!! Came with chains and no creeks when we swing. It’s a higher quality than reflected in the price in my opinion - great bang for your buck!

Item arrived in a large box via FedEx before the estimated delivery date! The swing was very easy to assemble taking 2 people approximately 20 minutes, the materials are high quality and the instructions precise and detailed! This swing far exceeded my expectations, it’s very high quality, sturdy, and everyone comments how nice it looks!

I bought the swing and the matching frame. The assembly was easy, it would be best to have two people for the frame but I managed ok by myself. It’s heavy. The frame is very heavy duty, sturdy. I chose the brown stain and it looks great . I spent about 3 hours assembling but I was pretty distracted by an Eagle that was flying around and landing in a tree across the river. I bought this in mid October, in the Northeast , so , off season. It came in one day . That’s crazy fast. It was packaged well, nothing damaged, no missing parts . After I completed it I hung out in it for an hour watching the world go by. It’s comfortable, good looking and strong. Highly recommended.

Update 2 - Just under 2 years and after wiping it down with a damp cloth, the swing still looks like it's fresh out of the box. Also, no rust on the chains. It does a bit of creaking when we first sit on it, but that's part of the "charm" of a wood porch swing. But then, the creaking could be me - I'm not a young man any more. To be clear, this would be a 5-star review if not for the less-than-perfect paint job. After 2 years, I'm perfectly happy with it! Update - I've had the swing for a little over a year now and other than a heavy coat of pollen, it still looks new. I would definitely purchase the swing again. Was a bit leery of purchasing this swing since I couldn't find it on the actual Vingli.com website. Thought it might be just a rebranded cheap swing. Probably is rebranded, but it is a decent quality swing. Assembly was simple and could be accomplished by one person, but a helper makes attaching the backrest to the seat a lot easier. Both parts are pre-assembled and pretty bulky, making it difficult to keep them aligned while trying to insert bolts. I encountered no problems with hole alignment mentioned in some reviews. Just follow Vingli advice - don't tighten any hardware until the entire swing is assembled. While the paint itself seems to be of decent quality, the paint application is a bit lacking. Less than 100% coverage and drips/running on the front slats of the seat. Most likely they were spray painted after being assembled at the factory. But, neither of these are of much concern to me - didn't even notice until I was finished with assembly and looking it over closely for loose hardware. At this price point, I didn't expect perfection. In truth, my only complaint would be the "gold" colored chains. I have a 9 foot ceiling and the chains are too short. Vingli should offer the option of longer chains. It's easy to find a 1 foot length of matching size chain, but impossible to find a matching color. The chain itself is plenty strong enough (probably way overkill). I can't say anything as too rust - haven't had it long enough and my swing is mostly sheltered from direct rain. For the DIY'ers out there: There are no nails or glue used. The slats are mounted with wood screws, so the swing could be broken down into its basic components then sanded and repainted if you're so inclined. Personally, I think this is a big plus. Overall, I would recommend this swing and even knowing its faults, would buy it again.

Love the swing. They did send two of the same side arms, but my nephew was able to make it work without even noticing. Chains are sturdy. the swing needs assembly. Glad I had my nephew to do it because it would have taken me a while and I am pretty savvy at putting things together. Once assembled, I love it. Sturdy enough for three adults to sit in together.
