I purchased two of these rockers for my front porch. The first went together beautifully (I had to look at the picture on the box, as there were no instructions). The second had instructions, but also had a few problems will drill holes, but I got the screws in all but one area, and it's fine. The chairs are quite comfy, and add a lovely welcoming air to my porch. Although I wish the quality control regarding the screws were better, I personally love the chairs.

Nice finish, no splinters yet, comphy
No directions with the first chair. Poor quality control with screws and the holes they were supposed to fit into on the second chair.
