Positives. The joints a d connections seem constructed. Good style and color.  However, the wood is thinner than I expected. There were some splinters and chips if wood either from arrival and/or from assembly. The wood is quite soft and would probably not stand up to something being dropped on but or being scratched. For example,  I dropped a light pocket knife on it at close distance and it made a mark in the wood.  The back rest is uncomfortable and not great to sit in for a long time. It may be due to the angle and/or the thinness of the slats. The rocker tips forward a bit in its neutral position, again making it less comfortable than it might have been. Overall not too happy with this purchase. Wish I had done a bit more in person comparison shopping.  Probably going to get cushions to make it more usable.
