Giantex Two Person Patio Glider Loveseat

Giantex Patio Glider is good for the price, once you put it together. When this was delivered, I was anxious due to the previous reviews. This glider is very light-weight and I was able to build everything accept attaching the "D Rods" (base rods). One thing I did not like is the packaging of the screws, nuts and caps. Normally, you find that each size of bolt, nut, etc. is in its own compartment. This way they do not get mixed up making it more difficult to find the correct item. Unfortunately, the glider has all in one compartment with the corresponding label on top of the item. Therefore, once you cut it open and begin to take what you need the other contents shift. Once the contents shift it is no longer under its label. Another thing is, the manufacturer gives you the exact number of each item needed. Some manufacturers give you extra screws, so make sure you don't lose any part.
The manual is just illustrations, but it is easy to understand. Everything fit well until I got to the "D rods" (base rods). I've read other reviews stating they are too short. I do agree they are a bit longer than needed making it difficult to screw in each side. I made several attempts squeezing the bars together to get enough of the bolt out the hole to screw the nut on. After I asked my husband for help, we managed to connect both sides and I began tightening the bolt. The D rod bent a little bit once tightened, but did not affect the performance. Once the glider is completed it is very nice with a pretty high back support. I'm 5' 8" and the back support comes up to my shoulders. You can adjust the ease of gliding by tightening or loosening the D rod bolts too. Overall, this glider is the same quality as some Walmart brands. It makes me think of Mainstays or Better Homes and Gardens, both brands I've had similar difficulties with. Although I had trouble assembling, I do like the glider's style and easy transition, back and forth. This was a present for my Mother-in-law and she loves sitting on her back patio with it. Thanks for watching!
