When I got this I spent a little bit more then I really wanted to, but I figured it be worth the money, and was going to be lots of fun. Boy, was I right! I got the swing as a surprise, but I had to warm her up to the idea of hanging two feet off of the ground. I could tell she was still a little apprehensive, but the more she thought about the possibilities, the more exited she got. The swing really does have nearly limitless ways to enjoy each other.

The initial installation took a little longer than I thought, finding a joist through a plaster ceiling can be tough, and not having it secure would not only end our fun for the night, it would be a hard sell to get her to try it again. When I was sure it was safe, and to help her relax, I got in first, with some weights, and swung around and hopped up and down being silly and calming nerves and helping her to relax.

This was our first bigger ticket bedroom play item, and I was a little nervous about spending the money, but the swing has totally paid off in the long run. After several years, and many uses, we still aren’t tired of it, and it is still in great shape.
Good design and great construction make it well worth the money.

The only problem we have had was with the set up height, more user error than a design flaw. I am 6’-2” and she’s 5’-7”. With that said, I set the seat at a height low enough for her to step in. I was having so much fun, that I was not going to stop to readjust the height just because I was bending at uncomfortable angles. That was a HUGH mistake! Two days out of work and an implausible story that I had to make up, taught me my lesson and I brought up the step stool for her. After a few adjustments we were good to go.

Be sure it to set it up at a height that is good for whomever is standing, not for ease of getting on. Using a chair or step works great! We put it low enough for her to get in from the floor, and I dealt with it. With the endorphins, testosterone, and adrenalin, I didn't notice any problems other than being in a slightly uncomfortable position.The next morning, I was calling in to work with a bad back, and a quickly made up unlikely story about how it happened!
