I am a research addict when it comes to purchasing items for my family, and rest assure this is one of the best values for the dollar! The Swing is a very well built product! It has an aluminum frame (this is great so it should not get rust stain on the white wicker over time). The wicker weave is so well done one cannot see the frame at all. The Seat and cushion are very comfortable. Chains that are included are very heavy duty welded links with a powder coat finish. They have a nice feel to them, not some cheep galvanized wrap chain. The swing does not come with hanging hardware; however this is not expensive at your local hardware store. Be sure to pick up 2 chain links, so you can adjust the height of the swing. If you are looking for a higher quality porch swing to bring the nostalgia of a life style once common place in the American family this just might be the item for you!
