Review Summary

This is the summary of consumer reviews for Garden Treasures 3-Seat Steel Traditional Cushion Hammock Swing (Model: SC-GSN). The BoolPool rating for this product is Good, with 4.00 stars, and the price range is $198.00.

The Garden Treasures 3 – Seat Steel Traditional Cushion Hammock Swing converts to swing from hammock and back. The swing is made with heavy duty steel frames. The ‘A’ shaped matte dark earth powder coated frame blends perfectly with pastel earth shades of cushions and canopy. The fabric is UV protected polyester material, which shades you from harsh weather. This swing holds 3 people comfortably. The Garden Treasures 3 – Seat Steel Traditional Cushion Hammock Swing is easy to install to some with the tools provided and its pictorial instructions.

Many reviewers showed concerns towards the difficulty in installation of the swing. They felt it was hard to figure the parts with the images and thus had to reassemble it for perfect fit. The swing has poor durability as it is prone to rusts with every passing season and may require repainting for protection. The cushions and canopy would wear and tear easily and the replacement is more expensive than the actual swing. It has to be moved in shade during harsh weather.

Overall, the Garden Treasure 3 – Seat Steel Traditional Cushion Hammock Swing, is a reasonably priced swing for your patio. It does need some maintenance to keep it usable and in good shape.

Review Group #: 1 (4.50 stars) 13 Reviews	Sturdy and attractive • Comfortable seat • Built to hold 3 people • Comfortably holds a family of 2 adults and 2 small kids »See Details They just don't look as comfortable. Very sturdy and comfortable. Fits three very comfortably. I looked around to find a swing that'd hold lots of weight and be comfortable. Would recommend this swing to anyone looking for a comfortable porch swing for a good price. It's sooo comfortable and attractive. It's so comfortable, I love sitting out on the porch and watching the kids play. I did add pillows on the corners for personal choice, but the seat is comfortable. All of the pieces are very comfortable, and I really love the swing. It's built to hold 3 but we can comfortably fit 2 adults and 2 kids on it. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 2 (3.00 stars) 7 Reviews	Not very durable • Rust prone • Non-washable seat and armrest • Requires repainting • Better to store inside in winter and rain »See Details We put everything in storage during the winter months so rust/ripping of canopy hasnt been a problem with us so far. We stored it in the garage during the winter, but have left it outdoors during the spring and summer months. Product rusted to the point in 1 year and 1 month that it collapsed when I sat on it. seat is ripping after only 6 months, swing not heavy enough to keep the wind from knocking it over, arm rests tore after only 2 months, not washable. However, despite sheltering the swing for colder months, all the metal poles and frame rusted in various places after a couple seasons use. We really enjoy our swing during the long hot summers outdoors. The support braces are rusting already. I treated and repainted it all, but think an outdoor product should have more longevity. It's already completely rusted through, and is now useless. So, I'd say that it's been used probably about five months total. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 3 (3.50 stars) 21 Reviews	Canopy is fragile, rips and disintegrates easily • Bad cushion mould • Replacement of canopy and cushions costs more than the swing »See Details I'm not complaining that the canopy disintegrated but the fact that Lowes doesn't offer a replacement canopy for it. AND Lowes carries no replacements of pads or canopy. Buy it if you're willing to replace cushions and canopy every season. This'd be a great product if you could buy a replacement canopy. Canopy is torn in several places. Bought this glider 5 months ago and decided to wash the canopy. I called for a replacement which they do have, but to replace all the cushions and canopy costs more than the swing...if you buy this swing, be sure to store the cushions before major rain and snow. My only complaint is that, the canopy ripped in the wind last summer, and now I need a replacement - which is really hard to find. The canopy and cushion are gone. Then, canopy got shredded in wind and cushions got pretty bad mold. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 4 (5.00 stars) 10 Reviews	Easy to assemble • Parts are well organized and marked • Easy to convert from swing to hammock and back • Looks good »See Details It was very easy to assemble and easy to move. Took an hour to assemble, directions very easy to follow, and all the main pieces well marked. Assembling it was no easy task. If you follow the directions and use your own tools its pretty easy. I bought it recently and easy to install. It was quick and easy. Easy to assemble and has held up very well in the Southern California sun and heat of 2 summers. It was easy to put together and looks great. In addition, the assembly instructions were easy to follow, all parts were well organized and marked, the swing was easy to put together (both initially and now), and it's easy to convert to a "hammock" and then back to a swing. Easy to put together with two people and very comfortable!. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 5 (4.00 stars) 12 Reviews	Takes time to assemble • Bolts may not match the actual figures • Parts come well wrapped and scratch-free »See Details Took the better part of an afternoon to assemble. Easy to assemble if you lay all the parts out and match them with pictures. The directions were awful with mislabeled parts. All parts present and accounted for, directions clear and easy to follow. It took my wife and I almost 3 hours to assemble after spending considerable time figuring out which part was which. They did include a telephone number but I prefer to order the parts online using a simple parts list with name and parts number. The product it'self is excellent . It's rather difficult to assemble, mostly because most of the parts aren't labeled. All parts well wrapped and scratch-free. As with others, assembly was a headache - by following directions on mislabeled parts I dismantled and reassembled quite a few times in spite of the pictures (which to follow the prints or pictures?). Then, none of the bolts matched the "actual size" figures, so that was another challenge.Once I'd the parts and bolts figured out, assembly wasn't too difficult. »Hide Details
