Fantastic all round!!!
This is a lovely product! The design has been well thought out, right up to the nylon buffers inside the top rings of the chains to prevent squeaking. Delivery: The driver arrived on the day, just as I was informed. He was very courteous and carried the packages for me into my rear garden. Quality: Excellent! Price/Value for Money: Very good value, I purchased the swing together with a cushion which is made for the swing and so fits perfectly and is comfortable as well as a rain cover which works. Tips: Order the swing together with the cushion and rain cover straightaway - you will not regret it and it is lovely to come outside after a shower and sit on a dry cushioned seat and smell the fresh scents of the garden. Make sure all the pre-drilled holes are clear of bits of wood form the factory drilling process before you start inserting the screws - it makes the job easier and quicker. If you find that the holes don't align at first, just loosen the other screws of the section you are dealing with and move the bits until the holes align, then tighten each screw in turn, a bit at a time. Unlike other reviewers, my husband and I did not find that we needed to make new holes - remember, you are dealing with wood, which is a natural product and depending on the weather/moisture content, it will either expand or contract. Hope the above helps - my husband and I have really enjoyed using it and it is now our seating of choice in our garden which has 6 other seating areas. The rain cover actually provides us with a wind shield so that we can sit out for longer on cooler days.

Great Solid Product
Excellent service as the item arrived in good time. The items were great for the price and i managed to put all together on my own if really needed two people. The swing is great looking in the garden and the family love it.

A good, well designed product.
The seat arrived very quickly in 3 heavy boxes. When I opened the boxes the first thing I noticed was how wet some of the parts were, like they had been stored outside, but all the parts were there along with all the hardware. The wood seems to be of a reasonable quality but only time will tell! I noticed that the ends of cut pieces were also showing signs of being pressure treated so hopefully this will preserve all the parts completely. The parts were well defined & cleanly machined & all edges chamfered. The instructions are quite clear although some parts do need to be read very carefully & a small amount of fitting interpretation sometimes needed. The pictures helped a lot. The parts fitted together very well with all holes where they were supposed to be although some of the bolt holes were very tight (maybe because of how wet some parts were) but nothing a few taps with a hammer couldn't sort out. While the general machining of the parts was very good, some of the holes were very ragged around their edges but all were in exactly the right place. The hood slats were hard to put up because of their weight. I ended up separating them from the tapes holding them together & done it that way-simples really! Altogether, I think this is a very good product, it’s at great price & been made with decent materials which are well machined. I hope that I don't need to use the excellent 10-year guarantee! I will retreat the timber every year with a good quality stain/preservative & I expect to get many years use out of the swing seat.

Miami zest swing seat with canopy
When I ordered the product I did not get an email confirmation. So I started panicking. I called the telephone number on the website and the lady told me it was due for delivery the next day. When the delivery guy arrived I requested him to drop it through the back gate which he did. The assembly was for sure a two people job. It is a very heavy and sturdy swing. I really do love it. Everybody who has seen us so far do like it too. At first I thought it would look huge in my bank garden but it doesn't. The seat was low but we just re-hooked it and it's fine now. No need to use a saw on it. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Poor workmanship
Recieved this swingseat very quickly and started to put it together. The instructions are clear and precise however then the problems started. The pre bored holes were all very tight either drillled with blunt drills or the wood was very wet as all the holes had torn fibres causing me to need to redrill all holes. The side supports that stablise the main legs were drilled in the wrong place causing all of the dimensions to be out and this leads to the canopy not fitting they has to be redrilled and the supports sawn to ensure proper fit. Finally the seat was to low and needed two links sawn off to get the correct height all in all very poor workmanship. What should have taken a couple of hours work turned into a full day. Unless you are competent DIY and have access to full range of tools this item is difficult due to the above to assemble. The manufacturer comments was yes we will take it back but you have to pay £31 for collection. All in all this is not cheap product and is marketted as quality item which it clearly is not.

But the product is fab and of good quality...I love it, it looks really great in the garden..

Good value
Took a while to assemble and had to change some of the screws as they protruded from the canopy otherwise a 2 hour job Worst comment was the delivery 3 large boxes just left at the top of our steps No one told us they were there . If we had been out or away they could easily have been stolen!

Looks good in our garden when built.
Instructions aren't the best but luckily the product is. With a little after care this hammock swing will last a long time. Surprisingly comfortable without cushions too and will not rust like the metal framed versions. Easy to order.
