I purchased this rocker after a friend had purchased one in a different fabric. I love it! It is so comfortable and looks great in my living room. It looks exactly as pictured—I love the dark wood instead of the light on most other rockers I had been looking at. Only caveat—the assemble instructions leave something to be desired. It’s not hard, but the pictures were a tad fuzzy. I just wanted to be sure I was putting it together correctly so I didn’t damage it and clearer directions would have helped make that easier. However, I managed and it seems sturdy!
