Loved the look of this chair for our nursery and the higher back. It worked great at first but after only a couple months of semi-consistent use, it sounds like metal grinding on metal every time it rocks or swivels. My husband and I are pretty small people, so it's definitely not from weight, and we've only used rock our daughter to sleep at night for maybe 15 min for the last 2 months, so it is not from excessive use either. Extremely disappointed based on the price. Now it's not even usable as the sound it makes is so loud that it wakes our daughter. Would NOT recommend.
