Good value, prompt dispatch.
Arrived promptly and safely (in a padded bag - no damage in transit). Both discs in individual sealed wrappers. If you only need 1 or 2 discs this is a really good value way to buy.

Beautiful watch. Nice clear face with BOLD HANDS so my poorly sighted elderly mother can still tell the time - she doesn't need to see the numbers (we all know what those are), but was struggling to see the skinny hands on her last watch. The pale sage strap is lovely and goes with a lot of the clothes she wears.

Mixed thoughts - but glad I got it
1 of 1 found this helpful The two boxes arrived promptly and contained all the necessary parts (including two extra ends rods for the canopy, and some extra nuts & bolts). However, one of the main end uprights had a significant split - not one that compromised it structurally, but it was about 10 cm long at an angle along one corner (along the woodgrain) and went into the beam about 15mm, so it needed plenty of waterproof wood glue applying and some duck tape to bind it. There was also a minor split on one of the seat beams which needed similarly gluing/taping. It is for this reason that I took off 1 star, but feel that overall it is reasonable quality. The chains and bolts are certainly good, smooth-edged and well-finished, the nuts all having blue plastic inserts to make them self-locking.
It was possible to put together by myself, but would have been a lot easier with a second pair of hands when it came to standing the frame upright, putting the seat together and hanging it.
The wood finish looks fab - I've never been keen on metal garden swings. The "Russian larch" and whatever else it is made from is evidently softwood, but hopefully strong enough. The canopy is easy to put on or take off, with one bolt each end, so I shall probably keep that in my shed along with the seat pad, when not in use.
I wanted a 'flat bed' swing and this was the only reasonable one I could find. Having applied the two main bolts each side to fix the 'side arm' to the 'chair seat', and putting the whole slatted seat flat, I found that the two holes each end for fixing the 'seat back' to the 'side arms' did not line up, so I had to re-drill those.
I took off another star because of the design, though: the 'seat back' cannot be simply tilted up & down (after removal of its bolts each side) to convert the swing from a bed to a chair, or vice versa, though the product description gave me the impression that this was the intented design. The seat is a really tight fit between the 'side arms' and the 'seat back' jams after raising it a few inches from horizontal; the whole seat construction would need loosening off to raise the 'seat back' to vertical, which would be a huge faff. So I shall be keeping mine in fully horizontal 'bed' formation. At some point I may create a 10-15mm spacer to go between the 'chair seat' and the 'side arms', so that the 'seat back' will tilt freely.
Knowing all this, would I buy it again? Probably, because I was really keen to find a wooden 'flat bed' swing. But I would probably not pay £250 for it.
