Kotulas Wooden Outdoor Glider Bench with 2 Trays

It is a made in China product with the base made of metal with wood slabs. A couple of the wood slabs did have some wood missing. You get what you paid for. It is one of the cheaper gliders but it sturdy but not super nice or sturdy.The instructions have few words and is mostly a diagram. It wasnt too hard to follow though. Took me a couple of hours to put together by myself.I recommend taking the stickers off as you go. I left that for the end and wish I hadn't. When you get to the part putting the slabs in I tighten them with my fingers and then noticed using the wrench that comes with it will help the the top of screws go into the wood. Also the last step putting in the middle brace it is best to turn over the bench and put in the top screw and then the bottom screw and go from there. My first attempt I put the top screw in by trying to just place in middle but then it was too far to put in bottom screw. Turning the bench over helped it fit correctly. I also plan on putting something to help protect the wood from the weather.

I really like the glider. It’s nice looking and sturdy for the price. Be warned, however, you need a mechanical engineering degree from Harvard to put the damn thing together. You’ll also need a drill because the pre-drilled holes in the wood slats aren’t large enough for the screws to fit through... if you can figure out how to get it assembled and you already own the proper tools to do so then it’s a good purchase!

Took awhile to assemble and only stripped one screw out of many. Looks great, wife loves it, comfortable. Had 2 months so far. I did spray wood sealant on to help preserve. Biggest pain was screwing in the screw to the many wood slats as it takes force and care. You should have some basic skills to assemble

It is not sturdy at all and everything someone sits on it it sounds like the wood is going to break. Also, a few screws under the seat have come out already and I keep putting them back but they keep coming out. It's not worth the money.

nice finish
