Swing-a-ding-ding.

There’s something utterly magical about a simple wooden swing hanging from your favorite backyard tree. This version, responsibly sourced from cypress and painted with milk paint, evokes the carefree, endless summer days of our childhoods. Hang it from a stately tree branch or wooden beam using the included rope (it’s made from Pro-Manila, a synthetic fiber that will last and last over time.) Choose from a round, 10.5” swing or a 24” rectangular one for your kids or your kid-at-heart.
