This rocker is exactly what I hoped it would be! It's a gray/ brown color that matches our nursery theme perfectly. It was pretty easy to assemble (says my husband :)) and looks really nice. It is a little stiff, but seems like it will break in with some use. Other reviewers are correct in that it is difficult to rock/ it doesn't rock well. It is currently on carpeting, but it just seems like the the range of the rock is not that wide. Otherwise, I am thrilled with my purchase!!
