Why we love this deal

Many older kids (adults) are chasing the joy they felt when they rode playground swings. Many adults are too big for even heftier swing sets, but there may be a way to scratch this nostalgic itch, and relax outdoors at the same time.

The $390 Outsunny Two-Person Patio Swing Bench is on sale at Amazon for $161, and it's far better than any old outdoor lawn chair or wicker couch. Shoppers love it, with one calling it “a nice addition to my deck and very relaxing.”

Why do shoppers love it?

Rocking chairs may be old-timey, but there's a reason they never went away: they're just so darn cozy. Like a rocking chair, this outdoor bench swings back and forth, which is not only relaxing enough to lull you into a nap, but it's also just plain fun. Its thick cushions make it comfortable enough to sit in for hours, whether you're soaking up vitamin D on a sunny day or enjoying brisk fall breezes. There are even two throw pillows that round out this gorgeous outdoor seat.

The couch may be soft and cozy, but the frame is built with durability in mind. It's made of solid powder-coated steel that supports up to 325 pounds of weight at a time, so you could easily relax in it with a friend or loved one. There's even a cup holder on each side of the bench, which accommodates two drinks each, so this bench pairs equally well with your morning cappuccino or a late afternoon cocktail. If the weather changes for the worse, the adjustable canopy will keep the sun out of your face while providing cooling shade.
