First off this is pretty dang comfy and relaxing. My wife loves it, it was a birthday present.
Second, I got the mesh weave instead of the full fabric because frankly it was the cheapest one in the list and I'm squeezing pennies. (If you're going this route, check all the options before checking out as the prices apparently change.)
You won't have this problem if you keep it indoors, but the problem with the mesh weave is that it's thin elastic. After living in Texas and Florida for years I've seen how this kind of elastic essentially dry rots in the sun over a few seasons; if you're in a harsh sunlit environment, that elastic is going to crack, break, and you'll end up falling right through unless you stay on top of covering it every day with the included cover.
The second problem with the mesh is that there's really no comfortable way to rest your head unless you lean it on one of the poles, but to say that's comfortable would likely be accurate only for shorter people (under 5ft). Try resting your head on the mesh and it just let's your head pass right through... We added a couple throw pillows to alleviate this problem, but sometimes it takes a while to find that just right comfy way to lounge.
The last mesh issue, as you move around and try to get comfortable, you can push the base pillow through the mesh too. This is more of an annoyance than anything, but still worth noting.
One last thing to note, this is a fairly big chair once it's assembled. If you're going to lounge out on it, you are going to want your head by the side of the support bar so it steers you away from it instead of into it. For us, this way it blocks part of the sightline into the kitchen. Not a big deal, but not something I had thought about.
Overall it's a really nice chair. I'm just listing things I wish I knew before I got the mesh weave one.
Great product. I wish I would have read through All the instructions prior to assembly. It provides a tool that helps open the basket. Would have saved so much time if I knew about the tool ahead of time. The swing is comfortable and a great addition to my bedroom.
This chair would work for my 10 year old grandchildren! Its very tiny! Also theres no way to attach the cushion to the frame. It is very slippery so it kept sliding onto the ground and was very frustrating! Easy to assemble and it looked nice. But I had no choice but to return it!
Amazing. Incredible. Best gift EVER. Assembled it all on my own, and Im a 23 year old female with zero muscle lol it is a bit heavy when you try to hook it on but other than that super easy the instructions are a little tricky but the pictures help. Very sturdy as well it can hold myself(170lbs) and my boyfriend(200lbs) while rocking for hours.
I added a thick outdoor loveseat pad from the home improvement store to the seating that arrived with the swing. It helped in not feeling the support bars beneath my seat. I also added a couple of throw pillows for back and neck support. Those two things made my swing a favorite place to lounge for hours. I love it so much I bought this again.

Uh-maxing
Its exactly what I needed. It was unclear in instructions to use the wrench and the thing on top. After I assembled it I took a nap
Very comfortable
I love it I wish was cheaper to buy two
Beautiful swinging love seat

Worth to make a gift appreciated.
It is easy to assemble, it is comfortable and it is useful for many ways.
Very tiny will not work for two normal sized adults!

Seating--added a thick cushion
