Brookstone Zero-Gravity Two Seater Swing Review

Relaxation at its Best!

"Truthfulness re.: ease of assemblage is amazing. Love ease of swinging. Choice of seating positions is great. Canopy is a perfect touch. In a word, heavenly. Great when a friend stops by for experiencing shared comfort. Nice way to enjoy reading while sitting in swing. Perfect for drying off after using spa. Adds a touch of class to the lanai. An awesome purchase choice. Got everything promised. This is a product that truthfully fulfills EVERYTHING it states. Stylish & practical comfort. Also, easy assemblage. Wonderful investment. It's worth every penny! Couldn't ask for anything better. Two minor statements; would rather canopy was a little looser for an easier fit instead of nearly needing to stretch it to just make it. Plus would prefer that ALL areas where piping fits thru' was sewed rather than velcroed."

Don't waste your money

"I purchased this two seater swing thinking it would be comfortable since it had a high back, and was able to recline. Well once you sit in the swing it immediately goes to a fullrecline position, try having a cold drink in that position. The description says 'recline as much or as little as you want" but there is no happy medium for seat position, you are either in the full upright position and fighting to hold yourself there or else you are fully reclined. There seemS to be some sort of locking device under the armrests but they do not do anything. Now some may say that being fully reclined is a good thing but your head is now on top of the so called "padded neck cushion" which is definitely no thicker than probably 1/4 inch, and provides no cushioning whatsoever. When two people are seated in the swing they will roll towards each other since there is no lateral support that seems to be doing anything on the underside. It feels like the concept of when you get into a worn out bed and you roll towards the center. Now the people using this swing are no heavy weights - one weighs 120 pounds and the other 170 pounds. The swing is suppose to support 450 pounds and we are no where near that weight limit. The canopy only provides shade if the sun is directly over you and then it really does not shade your head since in the fully reclined position (which seems to be the only position I can be in in this swing)the canopy is not large enough and your head sticks out from under it and is not shaded by it. Overall this is the worst purchase I have ever made and do not recommend it."

Brookstone Zero-Gravity Two Seater Swing Review

I put it together by myself...

"This is the second reclining swing we've had, but the other one was another brand. This one is far superior. I put it together myself, quite easily as a matter of fact. This one is sturdier and the movement of the swing feels better. It was a gift to my husband, and he loves it. When I can't find him I go outside and look in the swing.

The only thing I don't love is the cabana because I'm not crazy about the stripes, but it's not a big deal."

Great way to relax from the day's stress

"The swing is used on a paver patio - plenty of ground clearance with two people seated. Well-constructed and easy to put together. Instructions were better than average. Overall very satisfied!"

A perfect way to enjoy your back yard

"This item was pretty easy to assemble, and it works great. Just be careful not to use it on a sloped surface, as it is mentioned in the directions. Also, if it rains, the pipes retain the water, and it slowly runs out(on my head!) for a while afterwards. Minor issues, overall a great product. Very smooth, very relaxing."
