First, as a professional woodworker, I call tell you 100% that these are not hardwood. You can even dig your nail into the wood to prove it. It smells like either pine or cheap cedar. They show a picture of red oak in the ad but that s what you expect from Chinese companies. They don t use quality glue on their joints. I had one pop as soon as I sat in it. The design of the chair isn t reenforced and let s movement happen no matter how tight you screw it. The screws in the arms are 1.25 long and will not hold. Mine had one that was 1.25 and one that was 1.5. Total lack of QC. The finish is absolute garbage and has imperfections and the color isn t even in places. Anyone paying more than 60 bucks for these are getting ripped off. These are good for decoration and that s about it. If you plan on using a rocking chair, spend the 200 dollars and get one from Cracker Barrel. They are the best you can readily get for the price and are made from actual Oak.
