What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the exceptional quality and robust construction of these Amish made gliders. The hickory wood is noted for its durability, promising years of reliable outdoor use. Reviewers frequently mention the smooth, quiet gliding motion, which enhances comfort significantly. While the price point is premium, buyers feel the lasting craftsmanship justifies the investment, viewing it as a generational piece of furniture rather than a temporary purchase.
Know before you buy
While these gliders are designed for outdoor spaces, hickory wood is a natural material. To preserve the finish and longevity of the wood, we recommend keeping the glider on a covered porch or patio and storing it indoors or using a protective cover during harsh winter months.
The glider arrives partially assembled. You will need basic tools to complete the final assembly, and clear, step-by-step instructions are included to guide you through the process.
Because each glider is handcrafted from natural, hand-bent hickory sticks, no two pieces are identical. You should expect slight variations in the wood grain, color, and the specific curvature of the hickory, which adds to the unique, rustic character of the furniture.
The primary difference is the width of the seating area. The 4-foot model is typically sized for two people, while the 5-foot model offers a more spacious seating arrangement, making it a better choice if you prefer extra room or want to accommodate three people comfortably.
The glider uses high-quality yellow zinc brackets equipped with bearings to ensure a smooth, quiet motion. While it is made of wood, the mechanical components are engineered specifically to provide a consistent and enjoyable glide.
