This rocker is great for the price - sturdy and beautiful and was cleverly shipped with the legs padded by the chair cushion. The only downside is they require you to add 4 reinforcement screws to the bottom but have not predrilled the holes for this in the frame and even with a good drill adding them is very very difficult. They said they've gotten enough complaints that they've asked the manufacturer to add them, but it doesn't solve the problem for the current model (they said to just keep trying.)
