While the interior designer, who lives, next door loved the look of these, they have problems. They are very noisey and wobbley even after tightening all the pre assembled parts...it sways sideways when I sit...it may breake any time.The rocker foot is not shaped correctly...out of 3 feet of rocker...it rocks maybe 2 inches and makes a whole bunch of noise during 2 inches. The description reads "designed to withstand weather, but answer to a question says it should be covered from rain.The book that comes with it says avoid direct sun light. I questioned if I may use linseed oil to protect from drying and the response was it would void warranty. Left these out a little in all kinds of weather: left rocker at bottom bows inward and at top of rocker bows outward. One arm has no more black paint after ice and snow. None of the wood has split due to weather. I have to straighten rockers before sitting.
