I absolutely love this rocking chair! My husband and I can both sit on it at the same time. I ordered it because we are having a baby soon, and wanted our two year old to be able to sit in the rocking chair with me when I feed and rock the baby. We have it on a carpeted floor and it doesn't rock as well as some rocking chairs, but I expected that from other reviews.  That being said, I think it rocks well enough for it's purpose.
