I got this glider based on all the good reviews. It lasted for less than 6 months, and then literally fell apart: the "wood" cracked, the bolts fell out and would not fit into where they are supposed to go anymore, etc. My suggestion is, if you want a good rocking chair that will last, forget about all this made-in-China junk and go for something that will really last, preferably Amish-built.
