I was looking for some porch rockers for our new home, and these are perfect. They are sturdy, nice sized and comfortable! The wood is a beautiful color, and is very smooth. There was assembly required, but it wasn't too difficult, and probably took about 20 minutes for the first one, and much less the next three after we got the hang of it. Very happy with the packaging, shipping and ease of purchase. Looking forward to some great porch sitting this summer!
