POLYWOOD TGG48BL Traditional Garden 48-Inch Glider, Black

We love our Polywood bench glider! It's the perfect addition to our front porch. It's beautiful, comfortable, super durable and maintenance-free. It should last a long time. It's worth the price we paid. My husband put it together fairly quickly without any issues, and the pre-drilled holes all lined up just fine. So far we are very happy with it!I spent a lot of time searching for a bench cushion, so I will also share that I bought that from Comcaver (also through Amazon). The size is 45 x 18 x 3 inches and fits perfectly.

Took too long to get it shipped, but I can accept blaming COVID-19 for the delays. (Stay safe people!)Assembly was easy and straight forward. Only one screw required me to apply some pressure to a part to get the pre-drilled holes to line up. Not hard, just took some close examination as to which direction to apply the pressure.I am finding that I need to tighten the screws often as they work loose when swinging in the glider. Some may be that the plastic is compressing below the head, causing me to have to tighten the screw another 1/4 to 1/2 turn. But the screws that attach the bearings of the swing arms have unscrewed to the point where one almost fell out before I noticed it. I am considering some sort of glue in the hole to grip the screw threads better than the plastic is doing.All in all, a fine product and I am enjoying "gliding" on my front porch!EDIT: I finally had to do something about the screws that hold the swing arms on, unscrewing. I drilled a 1/4 inch hole all the way through the Polywood and inserted 1/4 inch x 2.25-inch long stainless steel bolts with a "Nylok" nut. I put 1/2-inch diameter stainless steel washers (2 per bolt) against the Polywood to spread the compression over a larger area of the Polywood. The Nylok nuts do not come lose. No more problem!Nice mod to an otherwise excellent product.EDIT again! I bumped the rating to 5 stars! I wanted another glider for my porch, so I bought another one.They have improved the design!First thing I noticed is that my mod (above) has been improved upon in the newer design. They now supply a bolt and barrel nut for the swing arm connections (instead of using a screw) and one end of the swing arms are pre-attached to the base ends. I'll leave my retrofit idea (above) in this review so people with the older design can know of a fix for the screws coming loose.The ends of the base are now longer in the rear... explained as helping prevent the glider from tipping over backwards (I have no problem with swinging too far such that the glider becomes unstable... and I can get my first glider swinging pretty wide! But I appreciate the attention to safety). Another change is the stretcher between the base ends in the back now overlaps the end frames, thus interfering with the swing arms on the back swing. I assume this is also an attempt to keep the swing from going too far back, causing the unit to be unstable and possibly tip over. I have sat in the new one and forced it to swing wildly and have not even struck the overhang so I am not sure it was really necessary, but I guess some child might get too rambunctious and swing too far and the overhang is another safety upgrade.Assembly was easy, just pay attention to the orientation of parts, especially the ends of the swing body/seat and the base so they end up on the correct end of the unit and you don't have to undo screws to swap the ends. I am old and tire easily, so I sat down to rest often, but I still assembled it in about an hour and a half, all by myself.My first Polywood glider has been out for 3 winters and 2 summers, rain, sleet, hail, sun, heavy snow-load, freeze and thaw cycles, temps below zero (°F) and above 100°F in the sun. No problems. Oh, and I have not had to retighten the screws in the original glider since about 2 or 3 weeks after assembly. It just took a while to compress the Polywood to its limit.I am a happy "Glider", now with a place for happy visitors to sit and glide too!

Very good quality sturdiness is unbelievable. I build furniture for a living so to me. The assembly was 15 minutes and it was all together.I definitely recommend it.

Have only had it assembled and in use for a few days but so far so good. Gave it 4 stars because of the issues in assembly. It looks great and glides smoothly. Exactly what we were looking for. We ordered in Mahogany and it is a dark chocolate brown. Looks much lighter in the sun. It is not a large piece which is what we needed. Low back and somewhat shallow seats. We also ordered the garden arm chairs. The arm chairs were easily assembled by myself in about 15 minutes per chair. This glider was much more difficult. The screws we received did not actually match exactly to the pictures in the instruction but we were able to figure out which to use where. Also, many of the predrilled holes did not align and it required my husband and I to push it a bit and force the pieces to fit. The assembly got so frustrating that we put it aside overnight and finished the next day. We finally flipped the glider on its side and used some pressure. It would have been simple had the holes aligned. We needed a small sitting group for our deck. The size was perfect for our needs. I ordered seat cushions on Amazon as well. If the furniture lasts as it is advertised then we will be thrilled.

Nice sturdy piece and not too hard to put together. Haven't had much chance to use it yet, but it feels good when you're sitting on it

Fairly straightforward assembly, two people make it easier. Power screwdriver with a hex bit speeds the process up but try not to over torque. The bench is comfortable and glides seemingly without effort. I look forward to the long-lasting durability of this well-made product.

Glider arrived one day prior to delivery date, came in one box. Took about 20 minutes to assemble with cordless drill. No flaws, holes aligned, boxed well. We are happy that we bought it and love the warranty. We would recommend it to anyone that wants a glider that will not rust, etc.

We are very happy with our Polywood glider. Assembly directions were very clear and pre-drilled holes lined up well. My husband is a woodworker, so he had numerous clamps that helped with the assembly process. The glider is very comfortable and we are enjoying it on our patio.
