Awesome and inexpensive!
Good price and good piece
January 15, 2017
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 product comes with everything you need. It is of great quality but you get what you pay for. This is made of softwood and is very light. I am a light person so I don't recommend this to a heavy couple. It fits right for me.

Good swing for the price.
August 14, 2016
This is a good swing for the price. It is not heavy duty so it will not stand up to children climbing around on it, rough use, or if an adult does not sit down gently especially if they do not sit next to the arm. Usually a swing would be installed using swing springs at the top of the chains to relieve strain on the swing if somebody sits down hard. These should probably be used and must be purchased separately. It was easy to put together in just a few minutes.

July 25, 2016
Back of the swing isn't high enough for me, but its acceptable.
Excellent swing if you don't mind doing a little work.
March 18, 2016
Overall, I'm quite happy with this swing. I found it to be well constructed for a swing at this price point, and I liked that it came unfinished so I could do with it what I wanted. I stained it maple, sprayed many layers of spar poly, then lightly wet-sanded down the texture with superfine paper. Looks sharp. If I had it to do over, I'd have used a sealer before I stained. That wood is super thirsty.My favorite thing about the swing are the chains and hardware. They really look high-end. Give the wood a decent finish, and this Jennings swing can actually end up a pretty nice little piece of furniture. Nobody's going to believe you spent less than $100.Several reviews observe their swing was insufficiently sturdy or durable. Perhaps Jack Post has changed the Jennings' construction or materials since they got theirs, but I find my swing to be adequately sturdy. As to durability, you'll definitely need to paint or polyurethane it, or of course the weather and sun will break it down. So if you don't want to do any finish work, this is not your swing.I deducted a star because the back slats float in the channel, and it was kind of a hassle to re-space them properly and secure them in place. Also it's neither here nor there, but by my tape, it's a little bit shy of 5 feet. No deduction for that, but it should be noted.
chilling
May 14, 2015
Loving it. I'm swinging while writing this review. The instructions suggested painting it and I chose white.
NICE SWING
June 20, 2014
This is a nice swing for the money. I stained and sealed it prior to putting it together and it worked out beautifully. I would have liked for the wood slats to have a little more backbone to it, but it seems to be OK. I have had three normal size people in it and all were very comfortable. I'll have to wait to see how it holds up.

Cheap and functional
November 4, 2016
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.
It was easy to assemble with the proper tools on hand
October 12, 2016
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.
Not too sturdy.
July 1, 2016
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.
Looks good but questionable structural integrity
April 22, 2016
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.
Not for long term
June 27, 2014
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.
Not super comfortable
May 6, 2014
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.

Not much to it. Hope it is cypress wood as was advertised; otherwise will not last long.
OK but not great
September 9, 2016
OK for 65 dollars but do not expect much. I painted it to make it last a little longer. Mostly for the kids to use not very sturdy for adults. The Aimish swings are the best. I bought one of them for another property and they are by far the best wooden swing.
The swing is good but it is really my fault
May 21, 2015
The swing is good but it is really my fault. for not realizing that the length was pretty short. I knew it was 5 feet but did not even think about checking the length. I love having a swing and sometimes I lie down and take a nap which is difficult. If I could I would return it but it is already put on thanks to my husband. Oh well.
Nice deal but verycheaply made
July 25, 2013
I got this even with the not so good reviews. I did indeed reinforce the back and that worked out great. The seat however has knots in it and one slat has already broken under my 8 year old (~85 lbs).You must sand and varnish it before use which takes a couple days. We will keep it and fix it, but buyer beware. We might pay a little more for one that is ready to hang, next time.
Get what you pay for..
September 24, 2012
This item arrived before the extimated delivery date which was great. The swing was very easy to put together and after staining it we hung it with no issue. However, after only two days (with very little use) the slats became unsecured and the seat started popping up from the ends. I have attempted on a few occasions to hammer the nails back in but they keep popping out. I guess you get what you pay for...
It's OK
January 29, 2012
After opening the box, this swing really makes you question if the cost savings was worth it. Don't get me wrong, it was easy to assemble and does hold my weight with my two young kids, but based on how it felt while swinging, I was constantly wondering if we were going to plunge to the ground. Like others suggested, I'm going to strengthen with some extra screws and 1x2's to make it more sturdy. I'm glad I didn't have fork out an extra $100 bucks or start from scratch and buy all the supplies from the box store though. I won't mind the little extra effort. Does the job...recommended if you don't mind a little more securing work.

It's cheaply made and not very sturdy (I only weigh 135 lbs and my husband 170)
August 31, 2017
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.
Falls apart
May 9, 2017
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.
Very Flimsy
March 24, 2017
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 well suited for adults
November 8, 2016
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
Decent product, but too flimsy for me
May 12, 2015
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.

Super cheaply made
July 30, 2017
Super cheaply made. Literally split a few different pieces of the wood by tightening it with my hands. Half of the screws and staples were loose or stripped out when it arrived. I got it put together but doesn't really feel like it was safe enough to sit on.I guess it works for now. We painted it white.
Feedback - swing
June 18, 2017
Classic lines but inferior wood and weight. The arms and support bracket are cheap in appearance. The seat had been damaged with gauges and splintery surface. Not certain if it happened with shipment or prior. Not a keeper. Bought it for Buyer of my home so can't return it.
Great price, but I can now see why
October 24, 2016
Great price, but I can now see why..... seat broke the first time sitting on the swing. All the work of putting swing together and to stain it, just not worth it! :-(
Low quality
May 8, 2016
I have had this swing for almost 2 months and today while we were sitting on it the entire bottom portion collapsed. Build quality is not that great. A few scratches and jammed fingers, next time I will look for a better product.
great price, but needs to be modified.
May 29, 2013
the swing is very cheaply made but knew that after reading the reviews, so i planned on making some modifications. i bought an 8' 1x2 and 8' 2x2 for $5.00, raised the back up about 3" and cut a 2x2 into sections to support the back. i figured buying the swing would save me alot of work and for $85.00 you really can't beat it and it makes the wife happy for a couple of weeks until she decides she needs something else. i weigh 215 lbs and my wife weighs 135, i would be skeptical of using it without adding some support to the back.
Broke the second time we sat on it
May 31, 2012
It sure looks nice-but the wood is so cheap.My 200lb hubby sat on it and the wood snapped in one corner-we willmost likely have the handyman try to reinforce it-It would be great if it was just for kids-

Very cheap swing. I returned it for a full refund. The return experience was great though!
This swing sucks and is dangerous
August 6, 2015
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..
Bad Buy
July 14, 2014
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
Not worth the money
June 24, 2014
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.
Terrible Quality
May 19, 2014
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!
Returned
June 20, 2013
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).

Do not buy a Jack Post swing.
August 2, 2017
Swing was delivered without some of the hardware. We contacted Jack Post but got no answer. We went to a hardware store and got what we needed, put it together, stained it, and used it for about a month. It is rated for 400 lbs. My 240-pound son sat on it today and it completely broke apart. So disappointed in this product and the seller.
Watch for damage in shipping
June 13, 2017
Apart of the end near the screw holes was broken when I received. I stated to stain the other section before I saw the damage. I repaired the product and it's just fine now. Please make sure to take a look at the swing especially the ends for any kind of damage before Assembling the swing..
Not good quality
April 16, 2017
The swing was not as sturdy as I thought it would be. My father-in-law sat in it by himself & he is way under the 400 lb weight limit & the bottom broke. We have had it hanging outside for only 3 days. I am not pleased with the quality.
