Porch swing, Hanging chains, Optional cushion
The Great American Woodies Red Cedar Classic Swing with Optional Cushion brings together everything we love about porch swings. It's constructed of quality cedar wood, which is well-suited for outdoor use because it's rot-resistant and a natural insect repellent. A wide design and graceful arching backrest beckon to be enjoyed. The contoured-for-comfort seat never disappoints, and it's made even better with a soft cushion (optional). Covered in polyester or olefin, this cushion is available in several patterns, and has a polyester fill for softness and durability. Cushions have piped edges for a finished look and ties to keep them from blowing away.
This wood is not pressure-treated. If your swing is exposed to a great deal of humidity, precipitation, and/or sun, as in coastal or mountain regions, we recommend you treat it with a sealant up to twice a year. If your swing will hang in drier conditions with less weather exposure, we recommend treating it anywhere from once a year to once every two years.
Hanging chains are 7 feet in length. Length from the top of the chain to the inverted "V" is 4.5 feet. This chain is a zinc-plated, 10-gauge wire, sometimes referred to as a double loop or twin loop chain. Hanging clearance will depend on how high you hang the swing and the force used to create a swinging motion. Also add the comfort spring and hanger set to your shopping cart below for added comfort.

I purchased this swing for my front porch. It is perfect for the location and was easy to assemble. The workmanship is excellent. I was so happy with this purchase that, when my front patio was completed, I purchased the glider of the same style expecting the same quality as the swing. I was not disappointed.

I got the impression that the swing is so much in demand (probably because of its relatively low price) that they can’t make them fast enough, so quality suffers. For example, some of the seat slats were awful in appearance. Because of the difference in the wood grain of these slats, the harder grain absorbed less stain which resulted in them looking like they have zebra stripes in two very different shades of brown painted on them. And the person who assembled the back put the gaudy-looking things on the seatback where everyone would be sure to see them. I unscrewed them and put them on the seat bottom toward the back where they would not be so prominently in view. While doing this, I discovered that not enough brass screws had been installed to secure the slats, so I substituted sheetrock screws in place of the missing ones.

I have a swing in our backyard that I had replaced the canvas twice already. My wife suggested to look at replacing it with a wooden bench. I searched the web a couple days and decided on your product. I don't think I could beat the price anywhere for a quality product. I was extremely pleasantly surprised at the quality and assembly took about 20 minutes! We are very happy with our purchase and glad I found your product on-line. As an added bonus, it arrived just 3 days after purchase. We enjoyed the afternoon today grilling and enjoying our swing. We thank you for making it a great day for us.

Bought this swing as a mother's day gift and it was exactly what we needed. Perfect size, color, and look. feels like really good quality hard wood. Looks great on my mother's back patio. Easy to put together, and a good, appropriate price.
There was a deal on shipping and we were supposed to get the swing the next day after ordering for only $2.99 shipping charge, but it didn't arrive till the second day after- I gave 5 stars because for a 4 ft swing, I think this is still really good.

We compared the dimensions listed to our current porch swing and bought this one because it had similar seat size. This ad lists the seat as 20" but it is really only 16" and is not nearly long enough unless you are a child or very short legged. It hits you under mid thigh and will need to be modified to be comfortable.

Its very attractive, but when assembled this swing looks like a "junior" model. I bought the 5' model to replace my old 5' cypress swing, but this new one has been downsized, and is only 4'6" wide, and the back height and seat depth are also considerably shorter than a full size 5' swing. The quality is fine, and as I said it is attractive, just smaller than expected. Sort of like getting a love seat when you thought you bought a sofa.

Q1: We bought your American classic swing- forgot to order cushion-how do we?
A: The matching cushion for the 4ft swing is item ALZ157 and for the 5ft swing, item ALZ156 (just type that into the search).
