Side by Side Comparison of: Jack Post vs Leigh Country

Met all expectations and was easy to assembly and install.

Absolutely love it! It was my Mother's Day present and after some paint and pillows, it looks great!

Easy to assemble, perfect size and the wood smells so good I'm not going to paint it! We find this swing to be sturdy and well built.

Awesome and inexpensive!

You really can't beat this deal. I ended up painting it a gloss black and it covered well. When I first sat on it (135 pounds) it made a cracking sound, but I think it was just settling. Now I use it all the time. The chain is gold which I thought I wouldn't like but I don't really notice it. It was easy to build

This swing was just what I wanted and it's held up this summer to a lot of use.

This swing is just stunning. Of course it won't be up until spring. I opened to inspect the package. I can't wait to put it up. It is going to look great on our front porch, I love it. Thank you

Just as expected and delivered fast! Thanks!

Thank you

Nice looking swing, wood is a great quality.

nice swing

a little uncomfortable

I'm really enjoying the swing.

Good thing

Just as advertised and very easy to assemble. Recommend you stain the chair before assembly.

Good not super strong

I got what I paid for

So I couldn't give 5 stars as it arrived BROKEN not once but TWICE ;0( in the exact same spot through the star and all the way down the wood, so after receiving it TWICE broken I called the company directly and they WRAPPED it in bubble wrap and it arrived PERFECT and it is the BEST swing, I love the look of it, very unique and it is high quality!

Not meant for a lot of weight my boyfriend and I together weigh 300 lbs and its was cracking. Great service though.

I purchased this on Amazon fully knowing the criticism of the swing. My expectations were tempered. It is a "budget swing" if that can be a thing. It is well packaged with most everything you would need to mount it to your porch. The wood is thin and it has been stapled together in many areas, which depending on your use and the condition you receive it may require some reinforcement with screws. Mine arrived intact, well packaged, and ready to assemble. I painted the swing and assembled it. The hardware was sufficient and the swing is nice and looks nice. It is relatively small, so if you are of larger carriage I would recommend only one at a time. If you weigh more than 220 lbs, I would not swing high. If you are looking for something primarily decorative and don't want to spend much, I'd recommend this swing. If you spend hours vigorously swinging on your porch, look elsewhere.

Not very please with how this swing is put together (the parts that are already assembled - the back and the seat bottom). It appears to be stapled together instead of screws or nails. It was easy to assemble with the proper tools on hand. It is hanging on my front porch for now but I will be looking for a better quality swing. You get what you pay for with this one.

You get what you pay for. Don't expect this to hold more than small children and puny adults. One at the most and two is pushing it. It's made of matchbook sticks.

Beautiful product but concerned about it's durability. When sitting alone in the swing (I am only 125lbs) the wood cracks as though ready to break. When sitting with someone else the swing makes louder snapping noises along the wood being sat on. Hoping it gets us through the summer at least.

If you are looking for a sturdy swing, this is not going to work for you. I'm not a heavy person and the slats gave (to point of almost breaking) so you really have to be careful. It also contained a little sticker stating it was made in China. I ended up keeping it, figured it would be cheaper to just replace the slats if they do break.

I was happy with the quality for the price. It seems just as sturdy as items available at local stores at higher prices. What I don't like about it is that the seat is not very deep. I'm short (5'4") and I find the seat so-so as far as comfort to sit on. I don't think a tall person would be comfortable.

We have had this for a while and have only been able to use it a few times. It's really only made for one person. It's cheaply made and not very sturdy (I only weigh 135 lbs and my husband 170). We have been trying to resell it locally but no luck. Bummer b/c it was expensive and we wish we had just returned it from the beginning.

After one week of use the boards became loose and barely stayed on. Needed to drive more nails into it to make sure the swing didn't fall apart. Recommend to the manufacturer to use better nails to secure boards to the swing.

This is a pretty flimsy swing. Good for small kids or adults under 150 lbs. it says it can hold 400 lbs but I would not test that. Light weight too. The wood is extremely light, but it is a $40 swing. We put it up and immediately my husband said that when we get another swing at least we got the chain! He does not expect it to last long. And if this were an outdoor, in the elements swing, it would indeed not last at all. Too flimsy.

Not durable. The chains are not long enough. The wood takes several coats of paint and the weight of this is more suited for a child than an adult. Would not recommend this for anyone over 200 pounds. Would not recommend this for high wind or distances that require more chain to install. Will be selling this in the next garage sale.

This is not the bench that your grandmother had when you were young. It works just fine but it is pretty light and Not ideal for large people

I returned this swing. It's not poorly made, it's actually put together quite well, and the chain and other hardware was of good quality, but the wood used just felt a little too flimsy to trust in a long-term outdoor application. Would be great for kids or low-traffic areas or decoration.

I gave this to my parents for Christmas this past year. I was excited to get it and assemble it quickly so we could take family photos in it...upon assembly, I realized just how thin and short seated it was...I should have paid more attention to the dimensions. Needless to say, I was a bit embarrassed as we gathered to sit in the swing for photos. We were all afraid to sit on the swing at once, thinking that it may crack down the middle and we'd all fall on the ground. We made it through our photos in the new swing, but since then, just with my parents sitting in it to bird watch or have their morning coffee, the swing has actually started showing stress and bowing in the middle of the swing seat. My father ended up taking it down and re enforcing the whole entire bottom with another bracing of wood. The seat is also very shallow, and I do not find it comfortable as you would a full length seat you can scoot back on. The design is very attractive, especially with the star in the middle, and the finish was nice...I just think the wood depth could have been better, stronger, and more supportive....one person sitting is fine (If they are NOT HEAVY SET) Two average people sitting in it, could be a risk over time w/o re enforcing it! 2 HEAVY SET people would not be advisable!!! Jus sayin'

Very cheap swing. I returned it for a full refund. The return experience was great though!

This swing arrived broken.. and they wouldn't accept a refund.. so I fixed it with my own money.. and let me just say this is the most unsteady swing ever... when I swing in it .. it wobbles and I am scared of falling out..

Wish I had spent the time to read reviews. This is a very bad buy. If you weigh 100lbs you may be safe. Flimsy is an understatement. Don't waste your time on this item. Spend a few dollars more and get the better one

This one is so junky - I returned it. Spent almost as much on return postage than the item cost new.But it is way too lightweight to consider hanging it under my tree, or even sitting on it.

Extremely poor quality and will not support the 500lbs as stated on the descriptions. The wood is very thin and rickety. The screws go directly through the wood and stick out on the other side. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM!

Item broke within the first day after installation. Had daughters (2 & 5) swing and they were fine, but as soon as adults sat on it, it broke. Returned item, had to pay return shipping ($25.00).

Swing nice to look at but as soon as a 115lb. female sat in it for the first time the bottom broke out of it.

Crap. Just plain crap.

Returned to Amazon. The wood is thin and cheap. The slats are thin and are stapled down. Purely a decorative piece.

Poorly constructed and cheap. Brad nailed together and most boards had fallen off when arrived. Looks nice pictured but actual swing needs help when opened.

Beautiful but not a quality piece. Broke as soon as someone sat on it.
