(More customer reviews)As was mentioned before, this is not a varnished piece of furniture, so don't believe the picture -- just the description, which states that it has a stained finish. That said, I think this glider is outstanding for the price. It comes in 8 main pieces (assembled seat base, assembled seat back, two seat arms, two glider base feet, and two glider base crossbars) which all have to be put together. Tools required for this task are: a hammer, an adjustable wrench (or two non-adjustable, open-ended wrenches), a decent drill driver, and a Robertson screwdriver bit. The last is very important, as there are several 4" long wood screws need to be driven into the base, all of which are Robertson type screws (have a small, square head in the middle). These COULD be driven in by hand if you're incredibly patient, but save yourself the frustration and just get a bit for your drill driver.
I was able to put this together alone using some ingenuity and a bit of luck, but it would help to have another person to help, as there are some pieces that require someone to hold them up while you bolt them together.
Once finished, though, you're left with a great wooden glider that's sturdy enough to hold even very heavy people with ease. It looks incredible. The wood smells heavenly. And I'm sure it will stand the test of time.
