Need swing and frame for mothers day

I need help. The wife wants a wood swing and frame for mothers day. Can come unfinished and yes I know I waited way too long to find one. I went look at a couple at ace hardware and they look terrible. Who sells them around Gonzales, baton rouge, kenner, metarie, or Hammond?

Baldwin-Taylor Hardware on Jefferson Hwy. in Metairie use to sell porch swings a while back and they probably still do.
Things to look for is how they are assembled. Exterior grade screws for the slats are far superior to finish nails driven into the framework. Check the hardware to see if they used cadmium plated, galvanized or stainless steel, with stainless being the best of the three.
How is the framework put together? Is it glued and bolted or just bolted together? Are the corners of the wood rounded over for comfort or are they left square with sharp corners?
The devil is in the details and the more details, usually the better the end product.

I would think you'd have to call them to see if they have any in stock.

These are great swings. I’ve got one on my porch that is the most comfortable swing I’ve ever sat in

Just a follow up...I ended up building the frame and buying the swing from all wood furntiture as suggested above. Bought stain from Sherwin Williams tinted the same color as the doors on my house. Here's the finished product
