This rocker is one of the best purchases we made for our nursery! I thought about splurging on a pottery barn rocker that would have cost three times as much as this, and am so glad I didn't. This chair is beautiful and looks high-end. It is more comfortable than I expected, such a cozy spot for nursing. I am 5'-2" and I'm able to rest my head on the back of the chair, but it's a bit too short for my 5'-9" husband. I can't touch the ground with my feet if I sit against the back of the chair, but it is fairly easy to rock and is perfect with an ottoman. Love this chair! For the price it can't be beat!
