LuxCraft Poly Porch Swings and Rockers Compared: 4 ft vs 5 ft, Plain, Classic, Adirondack (2026)
Short answer: LuxCraft poly porch swings come in two sizes, 4 ft and 5 ft, and three styles: Plain, Classic and Adirondack. The 4 ft swings have a 48-inch-wide seat. The 5 ft swings have a 60-inch-wide seat and a flip-down center console that can be raised to seat three. LuxCraft also makes three rocking chairs, the Comfort Rocker, Grandpa's Rocker and Porch Rocker, which share the same 21-by-18-inch seat.

4 ft or 5 ft: what actually changes
The main difference is seat width: 48 inches against 60 inches. Overall width follows, from 52.5 to 53 inches for the 4 ft swings and from 64.5 to 65 inches for the 5 ft swings.
The 5 ft pages list a flip-down center console as standard. It can hold a book or a drink, and a metal locking pin keeps it raised when you want to seat three.
Every swing page lists stainless steel chain as standard. The pages do not describe a stand or how the swing should be mounted, so work out your beam or frame plan before choosing a size. Browse the LuxCraft swings collection to see what else is listed alongside the swings.
Plain, Classic or Adirondack
Plain
The 4' Plain Swing is listed as a rollback, and both it and the 5' Plain Swing are the lowest swings here, at 24.5 inches overall height. The pages describe a simple design meant to blend into its surroundings.
Classic
The 4' Classic and 5' Classic are highback swings at 31.5 inches tall. LuxCraft describes the Classic line as clean-lined and suited to a Colonial gazebo or an Arts and Crafts porch.
Adirondack
The 4' Adirondack and 5' Adirondack are the tallest at 32.5 inches. The 4' Adirondack is listed at 71 lb, the heaviest of the 4 ft swings, and the 5' Adirondack at 96 lb. Their color lists include extra colors the Plain and Classic pages do not list: Aruba Blue on Black, Blue on Black, Lime Green on Black, Red on Black, Tangerine on Black and Yellow on Black.
LuxCraft rocking chairs
| Rocker | Footprint (in) | Height (in) | Seat W x D (in) | Weight (lb) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

The three rockers take up a similar footprint. The Grandpa's Rocker is the tallest and the lightest, and the Porch Rocker is the heaviest. Footprint is shown as the two listed floor measurements because the product page and the maker's page label width and depth in opposite order for the rockers.
The Comfort Rocker is described as having a contoured back and a smooth rocking motion. The Grandpa's Rocker is designed like an old hickory rocker, made with low-maintenance poly. The Porch Rocker is a high-back rocker with a classic porch design.
