Our glider bench arrived in a very timely manner. The partially assembled parts came in three separate boxes, and nothing was missing. Instructions for the remaining steps for full assembly were thorough and easy to follow; probably took 1-2 hours with my two young sons helping. Once set up, the glider bench looks very classy. We like that it has more of a mission or arts and crafts look to it with the vertical seat slats. Sitting on it, it feels very sturdy and glider smoothly. The flip down option for the middle section provides a spot for something to drink, as well as space for a plate of snacks or a good book. When the kids want to sit with us, we can put the middle section up and fit more people. We are very happy with our stylish, high quality glider bench and look forward to placing it in our garden area and giving it lots of daily use as the weather warms up!
