The tiny brads that supposedly attach the seat slats to the spreader below were mostly unattached on the original purchase; two were bent, precluding them from being used to reattach the slats. replaced the chair (this took an additional two weeks), which only had one unattached slat that we simply reattached rather than go through the whole return replace process all over again. Since I ve only been able to sit in the rocker for a brief time so far, I can t speak to its longevity or sturdiness. However, there are a couple of flaws that need mentioning. 1) Rocking is less than smooth; there s a hitch that may be only one rocker, but is definitely noticeable. It doesn t seem to make a difference whether the chair is indoors on a relatively smooth floor or outdoors on the concrete patio. 2) The inside of the chair arm is not well sanded, with stain and finish applied over the rough spots - which seem to be right where one s hand would contact the arm, and follow the roughness back and forth. I would redo the sanding job myself, but then it would be necessary to refinish the chair from top to bottom, and I paid too much to look forward to that size of a job, when it ought to have been done better in the factory. I may change my mind on that issue down the road.
So, no, I would not recommend buying this one unless you re willing to do repairs. 2 for 2 is not, in this case, a good ratio.
Photo 1 shows the seat of the first (returned) rocker. Photo 2 shows the second one that I kept. Photo 3 shows not only the rough spot on the inside of the left arm, but also the top of the arm itself, which also is less than smoothly sanded. I m not even close to being the perfectionist that my father was, but I recognize when good enough ... isn t.
This is a sturdy chair and only meant for people that are six feet tall and above due to how high it places your feet for rocking. It s impossible even for myself at 5 10 to rock comfortable and use the lumbar support. My wife s legs dangle bc it s too tall!!
We had a hard time putting it together because some of the pieces were not lining up but after finagling with it we were finally able to finish it. Other than that, once it s done, it s perfect! It s a little smaller but even my 6 ft 2 in husband found it super comfortable. Overall, great for the price and perfect for our nursery!

I got the matching cushion (2-pc) for my rocker and it looks amazing on our front porch!
Very nice....very sturdy, and an asset to our front porch!

Look great, comfort so so
A little to vertical for my liking. I would have preferred a bit more angle in the back. Also when pillos added, the head can t rest in the back.
, no screws included, Missing. Second time consecutive, waste of time.
Poor shipped item quality. Sended a use or refurbish item , where I payed for new!
Pretty
Bought for master bedroom. It s very pretty and is very pretty off white. We don t set in it, just for filling up the space.
These were easy to put together and seem sturdy.
I love they way they look on the porch.
Too high!

Very lightweight and looks good
Front porch rocker. The wood had some areas that were not coated which I will have to fix. Very happy overall
Easy assembly
It was easy because all the screws were neatly packed together and nothing was missing. I assemble five rockers and probably two hours. They look nice
