The rocking chair will serve its purpose.  Had I paid more for it, I probably would have returned it due to the workmanship. Lots of chips and blemishes on wood.  Also, the color of the pad in the picture looked more gray than tan and gray is what I was going for.  My daughter just made  her first purchase on Wayfair, and she too was disappointed in product.  Huge defect on item.  She will be returning her purchase for a refund! Is your company a seconds type store?
