A rocking chair has to tip back to work, so it wants clear floor behind and a level surface under the runners. On a small deck or against a railing there is often neither, and the chair ends up shuffling across the boards.

This one glides instead. The seats swing forward and back on a fixed steel base, so the 57 in by 28 in footprint on the floor never changes. The record notes the movement is short and quiet, and anti slip pads sit under the feet.

One piece, two seats

This arrives as one unit, not a set. Two beige mesh seats face forward with a glass topped table fixed between them, all on a curved steel base that carries the gliding motion.

Every published figure

Fifty seven inches wide, 27.5 in deep and 37.5 in tall on the panel. Each seat is 20.5 in deep and 19.5 in across, the back 23.5 in square, the arms 23.5 in up. Maximum capacity is 530 lb.

Two people, facing the same way

A glider seats two side by side rather than across a table. You end up looking out at the same garden and talking sideways, which suits a quiet evening more than a dinner party.

The table in the middle

The panel shows what the centre top is for: glasses, a plate, a book. It sits level with the seat frames so nothing has to be passed across, and it glides with you rather than staying behind.

The seats travel on a fixed steel base. The record calls the system quiet and smooth and says it does not swing far.

Printed on the manufacturer's own dimension panel for the whole two seat frame.

A 12 in wide tempered glass top fixed between the seats, so drinks move with you instead of sitting on a side table.

Weather resistant mesh stretched over the frame. The maker calls it breathable and quick drying, so rain does not end the evening.

The record describes an ergonomic curve on the arms at 23.5 in, which is where your elbow lands when you sit back.

Light enough for two people to carry it round the house, and light enough to bring in for winter without a dolly.

Pads under the base grip decking and stop the frame marking tile or boards.

The footprint never changes, so this works against a railing where a rocker would knock it.

Two seats, one motion, and a table you both reach without leaning.

Mesh seats dry themselves. Nothing to lift, cover or carry to the shed in October.

What we stand behind

• Every measurement here comes from the manufacturer's own dimension panel or the written record.
• The 530 lb capacity and the 44 lb product weight are the maker's published figures, not estimates of ours.
• Waterproof, sun protective and weather resistant are the maker's descriptions of the mesh, not test results of ours.
• No UV rating, fabric weight or table capacity is published, so none is quoted.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Is this a rocker or a glider?

A glider. The seats travel forward and back on a fixed steel frame rather than tipping on curved runners. The record describes the system as quiet and smooth and notes it does not swing far, so there is nothing to tip over backwards.

How much weight does it carry?

The manufacturer prints 530 lb for the whole loveseat and gives the product weight as 44 lb. Those are the maker's figures. We have not tested them.

Are there cushions?

No. The seat and back are weather resistant mesh stretched over the frame. The maker calls it quick drying and breathable, which is the trade: firmer to sit on, but it dries after rain and there is nothing to bring indoors.

What does the centre table hold?

It is 12 in wide with a tempered glass top, built into the frame between the seats. Two glasses and a small plate is a fair load. No capacity figure is published for the table, so keep heavy things off it.
