I like the look of the rocker, the wood grain is nice with the leather seat. Nice wood and its heavy. BUT ..If I would have sat on it in the store, I wouldn't have bought it.   The seat isn't too comfortable (not enough cushion) and the back is alittle hard on the back/head..ok if you're going to sit for a short time. We bought pillows, and a foot stool for better comfort.  Sorry we didn't buy an upholstered rocker.
