This glider is just what I had hoped it would be for our deck. It is very well constructed, the gliding is smooth and makes absolutely no noise. The cushions are firm, but not too firm, and the covers have zippers so that they can be easily cleaned. I looked at many other gliders before purchasing this one and I couldn't be happier about my choice. The glider comes completely assembled, so there was no worrying about putting it together. The hardest part was cutting away the box it was shipped in. I highly recommend this glider.
