I HAVE ONLY PUT TOGETHER ONE ROCKER BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A MOVE.  THE INSTRUCTIONS COULD HAVE BEEN MORE EXPLICIT AS TO WHAT TO DO FIRST.  FURTHERMORE, WHEN VIEWING THIS SET AT WAYFAIR THERE WAS NO MENTION OF IT REQUIRING OIL ON A FREQUENT BASIS.  HOWEVER, THE ROCKER IS VERY COMFORTABLE AND LOOKS FANTASTIC.
