I do not no the answer to your questions, sorry. But I must say I am happy with the swing for the price. I have it on a sceened-in porch.

I think it's teak which is not pressure treated. Made it through the winter and still looks nice

Not sure it is pressure treated or not, but is holding up well. and I would say it was a good swing.

The slats are an unspecified hardwood. There is a protective coating on the wood. The directions suggest reoiling the slats occasionally if the swing is constantly exposed to the elements.

The swing does not have a finish. I left mine unstained, but put 3 coats of Marine outdoor varnish, which turned out great. Do not use indoor/outdoor varnish if you intend to hang it outdoors. If you're going to paint it, I'd recommend Bulls Eye 1-2-3 primer with a premium exterior latex paint.

Off the top of my head, the swing is about 15-18 inches wide and about 1.5 to 2 thick. It is very sturdy. I put one coat of polyurethane to seal the wood. I hope this is helpful.

Yes. Use pressure treated lumber. Only slightly higher cost than regular lumber but will last much longer. Other reviewers mentioned teak and cedar, which are both weather compatible woods intended for style. They'd function okay but cost would be unnecessarily high (especially for teak)! I'd also prefer standard pressure treated lumber as it, normally pine, would have a bit more give to it being a softer wood. Boats aren't flat, so a little give is a good thing.

Just like said before, It comes with the hardware to attached to an existing swing set, except for the wood. You will need two 2" x4" x20" pieces of pressure treated wood.

Not sure of the content or type of wood used. However, it is a relatively sturdy piece of furniture, and I have been extremely happy with this. One word of caution: if you ever need to move this item, make sure to secure the side doors closed so that they don't accidentally come open during moving.

I believe it is a pressed wood. It is very good quality. It does take time to put together but I did it alone. It is very heavy and I love it!!!

The frame pieces and drawers are wood, but the majority is pressed board. We had water damage to ours and the insurance company said it could not be fixed, so replaced it.

Treated wood normally does not make a good expansion joint, expansion joints are normally tar paper like felt and in some cases a foam. However pressure treated wood can be in contact with concrete.

It is finished wood. I like the customer service. My table was damaged in shipping shipping and the seller replaced it without problems. Just take pictures of the box if it is damaged before you open it

It is wood, it should be protected to some extent and it will swell with a lot of moisture. Mine it used on a covered deck in the backyard and is open to the elements with some protection. I store mine in the shed when out of season.

I wish I could help but I don't remember what the name of the swing was but it does look like the photo shown and like the others said it was a tight fit but it worked for me and its been out all winter and is still in good shape.

Yes high density pressed wood. Toy box was heavy once we put it together. My daughter in-law loves it. Quality item for the price!

I've noticed that as well! I Was very happy to find that the swing I recieved looks like the larger swing pictured. It is however, unfinished so not quite the red stain look. It's an amazing swing for the price! Very sturdy! I bought it for my parents and look forward to seeing them enjoy it with the grandkids this summer.
