Coral Coast Coral Coast Pleasant Bay 4 ft. Curved Back Outdoor Glider Loveseat -, White, Wood

First, the positive. It is a good looking bench, with a very nice finish. Ours is new so I don't know about durability. For the most part it assembled fairly easily (read on...), and it came packaged well. Now for the small down side. The back assembles with mortise and tenon joints, and they did not match exactly. I had to dremel a little of the mortise out, or a person could use a knife and trim some tenon off. Not a big deal, took 5 or 10 minutes to fix. Watch out on the screws, they are soft metal and you could strip one of the allen (or hex) sockets. I used a hex head deck lag bolt to replace that. The bench does not glide very much, maybe 4 to 6 inches. Both swing arms hang straight down - you aren't going to swing up much. So, all in all, not so much function in the glide department, but it looks nice.

I'll start by saying, yes this is beautiful and it does LOOK wonderful on my front porch. Instructions were a little unclear (pictures were hard to see) and it mainly was explained by arrows. The actual glider part on the bottom, that you build separately, the wood kept splitting when you placed screws in. It totally split the top piece of wood. Screw holes are WAY too small for screws and the actual holes for the bolts on the glider piece were too small. Had to enlarge the holes myself. After getting it all put together it barely glides! So to sum up....I have a beautiful BENCH for $200.00!!

Positive:Looks nice on my porchNegative:Brackets did not line up as in other reviews. Had to remove and re-drill. As you can see in the image, the brackets weren’t even close and after moving I couldn’t even use all three of the screw holes as the bracket hangs down below the support bar.It glides 1”, borderline false advertising, it’s a bench...Incredibly cheap hardwareIf I didn’t waste all this time putting it together I’d take it back apart, pack it up, wrap it in duct tape, and ship it right back. Do not buy.

Glider looks nice (after a lengthy assembly process), but no matter what I adjust on it, it won't actually glide. I believe it's a combination of too short of swing arms and their mounting method. Another major problem is height off the ground. I'm 6'1" tall and my feet could not lay flat on the ground with a thin cushion on the bench, let alone anyone shorter. And the sitting position is almost straight up. I actually cut the lower unit's legs at an angle to lower it and lean the back support toward the rear, which made the bench at least tolerable. Tried to sell it at a garage sale for 40% off, no takers. Since it's an assembly, very difficult to return. So we're stuck with it. Do not buy this, we have since found there are better units out there for the same or slightly higher price.

Agreed, it looks nice, wood seems strong enough. We will see how it weathers. The brackets did not line up at all and had to be re-drilled, at the risk of splitting the wood. In our case, it did not split so we are relatively happy. What should have taken 1 hour, took 3.

I ordered this glider for our lanai at our condo. I have been looking for a year or so at stores and decided to look online instead. As soon as I saw this glider I knew it was just what I wanted. It arrived earlier than the date it was to come which made me very happy because we were having company and we were able to assemble it before they arrived. It was not too complicated to assemble but the assembly said it would take 30 minutes, it took us that long to figure out what to do. But really assembly took only an about hour. It looks great on the lanai!

Calling it a glider is a bit of a joke. It glides about 1 1/2 inches back and forth. We have checked and double checked that it's put together properly according to the instructions and it just will not glide more than a tiny tiny bit so you feel like you are shaking rather than gliding.

Looks great. Glider feature is truly useless but similar non-glider benches cost the same or more so, oh well. Arrived early, fit together well. No issues.
