What kind of fasteners are used to put this item together, and is glue used? How well does it hold together compared to a fully assembled horse?

Put together with screws and no glue. Not sure what your second question means but the horse feels solid and has held together fine after being ridden, stood on, and moved around by a toddler.

I think my husband just used a screwdriver, no glue, and it turned out really cute and seems to be holding up well, I'll order another one for the next baby shower that I go to!!

Wood screws are included. Upon final assembly as per the included instructions, this rocking horse is solid as a rock. The pieces assembled with the wood screws are counter sunk and keep the screw heads from the child. There is no need for glue in the initial assembly.

It's held together with screws I'm sure- I bought this for my 95 year old gramma to get into our truck. She leans heavily on it, it's incredibly strong and yet very light, portable and durable. Very happy I bought it, she is very comfortable/secure using it- also very stable.

It attaches with bolts. I had to not use the metal/adhesive it came with to get it to fit. And I did it wrong like 5 times, because there are no directions and my mind doesn't work that way. Its stable though (I put it in front to make for easier access through the house), and if she uses it, it is helpful. But she is someone who, though needs to use her walker, sometimes feels like she doesn't need it, so just doesn't �. Way too much of the time. You can lead a horse to water, and - well, you know the rest.

No glue needed.(I didn't get glue in my boxes) Holes are pre-drilled. Very easy to put together.

The horse are made of a very sturdy plastic. The stable has two doors on the back with a gold metal hook-style latch. You can easily open the "stable doors" and let the horses out to play. We've had this toy since June 2013 and it has held up very well -- my daughter plays with it constantly and has even dropped it on several occasions.

I have not had this problem at all. I cut the pieces per directions and screwed the connections solid. I'm not a contractor so my use is just around the house and yard -- but this is the most solid pair of horses I own. The earlier answers from Reinhardt and RetiredDIY provide some good detailed tips.

The chair does come with all the hardware, if you choose to screw the hook they provide into a tree limb. We bought and used a tree strap (via Amazon) for one of the chairs and used the screw for another chair. It does not come ready to just hang up... have to tie the ends of the lines so you have a loop to hang it from. We did a google search for the best way to tie it and worked fine.

You will need to buy glue yourself. You will also need sandpaper, clamps, stain and brushes, maybe even polyurethane to finish depending on your tastes. Nothing is included besides the wood, strings, and hardware.

I didn't use glue, the screws hold just fine. I used the track to provide access to a reptile tank, which is accessed every day. I would use a two part adhesive if I were to use any.

Assembly is required. Tools are provided. Takes less than 15 minutes. Initially I put one of the pieces on backwards and had to disassemble and correct. So think it through before you start.

I put it together for my girls in June and haven't had any issue with the parts. I did not use glue.

It does not come with glue, paint, or any model building tools. While not overly intricate, the rigging is not accomplished easily and requires some skills beyond that of a novice builder. My son 12 yrs old and I have been slowly finishing rigging the ship since mid winter.

My husband assembled it without using the glue. The glue must be something extra in case something comes off (the wooden knobs).

Hi, I really am happy with this piece of equipment. It is assembled by just snapping in several parts and then screwing these four parts down. Everything is included, and VERY easy to put it together. Enjoy! Yvonne M.

There is a screwed closed spot under the horses chin. We found the screw a little hard to remove. You'll need a small Phillips head screwdriver and some patience. Rnjoy
