You get what you pay for. A bit on the low end of quality. Was not hard to assemble. Material used for cover, is of low quality, and not at all soft. I will most likely be replacing the cover in a year's time. Foam could be a little more thicker and firmer. Other wise its a good basic rocker suited for the limited amount of time sitting in a class room environment or in a nursery room at home. Love the pockets on the arms. It helps!
