I'm 5'9" & my feet barely touch the floor which I like because I don't have to stretch my legs to rock. The material and back cushion is soft & when I rock, it is smooth & comfortable. The side pouch helps to place important items that are accessible when needed. However, some holes on the wood (attachments) were not cleaned (chipped or sanded) that made it a challenge to screw the screws. Over all, I'm content because the chair matches with the lounge chair I purchased in Wayfair & both were made with the same material. I can close my eyes, relax & rock.
