I love this rocking chair. The fabric isn't as soft as I would like, but I imagine that over time it will soften up. I am eight months pregnant and sometimes I want a lumbar pillow, but others I am fine without it. I am 5'6" and I love how deep it is. It helps me sit up at just the right angle when I feel like I can't breathe. The arms also feel like they are going to be a perfect height for breastfeeding.
