Love this chair. Super comfy. Is a bit taller than I expected, I am 5'7" and I can rock but just barely (fits my 5'11" husband perfectly). I use it with an ottoman and it's great. Found it to be true to the colour in photos. The wood stain is beautiful. We have it on a carpeted surface and it rocks well. My husband put it together so I can't comment directly but he was not frustrated when I got home. Beautiful piece of furniture!
