Sleeker design than most rockers which works better in our small space. We like the high back with pillow. Feels very sturdy. It's seat sits high. My wife is 5'2 and she can't sit with her feet flat but not a huge issue for her. Instead she rests her feet on the rocker legs or on the ottoman we purchased to go with it. Not 5 stars mainly because unwitting kid hands & feet and dog paws can easily rest under the rocker feet and then get smashed if the rocker is in motion. Our kids have learned to avoid the issue, but our pup isn't so wise and she likes laying at our feet when we're on the chair. The ottoman helps keep her at a distance though.
