Balancelle Carli

Since I'm the 1st to review, I'll let everyone learn from my adventure. Overall, the product is going to work for me and the price is right. I am on the border between 3 and 4 stars. Given the price, I'd go with 4 stars. When considering overall quality and a couple of issues, I'll go with 3 stars. My seat fabric had a small hole/rip. It gets covered by the seat cushion, so I'll never see it. Wayfair's web page says Cushions are not included. They are. A seat cushion, 2 armrests and a couple of pillows. They are probably the cheapest quality of all the parts, but they are included. The page also says a chain is included, but that is just silly - it is very small and is used to keep a pin attached to the frame that is used to keep the bed from swinging. See the 5th picture. Assembly: Typical of these types of products, it could have been a lot better: Photo 1: Parts - this is actually pretty good. Quantities and part descriptions match Photo 2: Skip step #1 and perform instead during step 4 Step 2: Parts A1/A2 go closer to the rear of the swing. Picture shows it towards the front. This influences how parts D get orientated. Parts H show curved part on top, flat part below. However, the direction of the braces don't match the actual part. Place the curved part on top. B1/B2 are shown near the bottom at the rear. They are actually quite a bit higher up on legs G1. Not shown on B1/B2 is a chain and a pin to prevent the swing from rocking when set as a bed. If you want it to look like photo 5 (i took that from Wayfair's web page) then B2 needs to be on the left, B1 on the right, which is opposite the instructions. There is only 1 'W' bolt which looks an awfully like the 40 'S' bolts. Make sure to find it. Instructions indicate to use 5 'W' bolts. Only use the 'W' bolt to attach A1 to A2. Use 'S' bolts to attach A1/A2 to the frame, not 'W'. The 'F' part of the frame, I thought it should be rotated 90 degrees to avoid a gap at the top of part 'F' and part 'D'. The gap doesn't look correct and using the holes in part 'F' that are 90 degrees away, would fix it. However, if you did that, parts G1/G2 could not be bolted to part 'F' without drilling new holes. I don't know if this is a manufacturing mistake or if it is intended to be this way. Step 3&4: We skipped this and waited until the very end. We didn't want the cover to get in the way of assembling the actual swing of this swing. Make sure to push parts 'L' & 'O' all the way in to part 'P'. The fabric for the cover is very tight and won't stretch to be inserted at the ends of part 'L' otherwise. Photo 3 & 4 Step 4: shows a little hook on the bottom of part 'H' that doesn't exist. Step 5: no issues! Steps 6&7: I'm not sure if we did these correctly. The diagram on step 6 of part 'R', the J-bolt, doesn't look like reality and the same diagram in step 7, doesn't match step 6's, which also doesn't match reality. The biggest issue we never resolved was laying the seat flat in the bed position, you should be able to connect the seat to parts B1/B2 using 2 'U-shaped' parts attached to the seat. That 'U-shaped' piece doesn't show up in the instructions and it is about 1 inch too high to fit down and over parts B1/B2 (see the fifth picture, our's is about an inch above the bar). We looked for what we may have done wrong, but honestly, there isn't a whole lot to do wrong when installing the seat. Maybe the holes for B1/B2 are too low? Anyway, we can sit and we can swing while keeping the sun off of us, which is what we really wanted. The netting is a bonus and we did not install them yet. I see Velcro and strings and expect it to be not very elegant, but that remains to be seen until we actually install it.

Very happy with my purchase, look as it was described, I even used it to have short nap, highly recommended

This purchase has been a nightmare!. We paid the $139.99 fee to have this swing assembled and Wayfair sent Agi's list people to perform this task. The person was able to assemble only the frame which took him 3 hours to do and then he looked at his watch and said "sorry, my time is up " and he left. He stated there were screws missing, no holes drilled where there were supposed to be holes. At any rate the date was schedule for another technician to assemble the swing and this person rescheduled, then another rescheduled. Finally the pieces of the swing appeared to be flimsy so we packaged it all up and sent it back. I was refunded the price for the swing but not for the assembly fee. This apparently has to refunded by Angi which hasn't happened yet so ...I still have a balance of $139.00 on my Wayfair account which I will not pay because I don't have a swing and nothing was assemble. Like I said a NIGHTMARE !

For the price, poor quality. No instructions.

Love it. Nice for the price. Does get wet inside when it rains though.
