Here's a few comments.
Assembly is frustrating because the instructions are fairly terrible with the labeling missing in most of the pipes. The seat is made out of fabric, there's no bar except at right behind your knees and along the top, so the material starts to sag, and the seats don't have a lot of support. I wouldn't trust two people sitting on this at once if the total weight exceeded 300lb.
The actual part where it swings doesn't give me high hope this will last at all. It's fairly poorly welded and I anticipate it'll last maybe a few years before fully rusting out. All of your weight is supported by small spot welds, and the actual bars you're swinging on are awkward holes punched in flattened steel bars.
Lastly the canopy easily pools water if you have it at any angle but exactly flat, and once it pools water it deforms it to further pool water because the fabric is incredibly cheap.
My recommendation? Not a good purchase even at $70. My local lowe's had almost twenty of these marked down.

The whole reason I prefer SD is because people like you taking time to give the real stuff!
