I purchased this chair for an upcoming visit from my new grandbaby, and I was not disappointed. The chair came into pieces, and was easy to put together, although you will need a second set of hands. It rocks smoothly, and it is easy open and close the recliner.  My two sons, both 250 lbs and 6'0" and 6'2", liked the recliner and said it's  comfortable.  You can tell that it's not super high quality, but for the price paid, it is goodvalue.
