Poetry In Motion - Get in the swing of things with a classic porch glider

摘要

You might think relaxation equates with keeping still. Yet, the popularity of everything from cradles to porch swings proves otherwise. The fact is, a gentle, undulating motion is soothing to most of us, regardless of our age. People like to keep on the move - even when they're not actually going anywhere. A glider is something between a rocker and a swing. It's essentially a bench that's suspended from its base at each end by a pair of arm-like brackets. The brackets have ball bearings at their ends to allow the bench to swing forward and backward a few inches. While you could convert an old bench to a glider, building one from scratch is a lot more satisfying. Our mahogany version is elegant enough for the most upscale porch or patio, and it's sure to become a favorite on warm summer afternoons at your house.
