This chair is a good, comfortable rocker. It is strong, but lightweight; attractive, but inexpensive. It is not easy to assemble, but once you realize the importance of the adjustable cross-pieces under the seat (2) and behind the back (1) it is easier to make everything fit. Before attaching them, simply twist them to make them longer, which allows everything else to fit together more easily.  Tighten all the bolts only after everything is in place; then lastly lengthen the cross-pieces even more and make the seat material as tight as you can. This will save you from the uncomfortable feeling of sitting on a bar or leaning back on one . I bought two of these for less than the price of one wood rocker. It was worth a little more work.
