I love this chair!  We bought it for the nursery, with thoughts of getting a chair nice enough to move to the living room after it's no longer needed in there.  It looks great!  It rocks and swivels smoothly.  I can comfortably sit and rock, and since I'm short that is a big deal!  My husband is almost 6 feet tall, and he is comfortable in the chair as well.  I love the pillow back during the long rocking sessions, it's very comfortable on my back.
