This chair came in a box and we had to attach the back, which just snapped in no problem.  It glides and rocks smoothly and doesn't make any noise. Fairly sturdy but not heavy duty still you don't feel at all like it would flip over. The fabric is nice to the touch. It would be a nice addition to a nursery room, perfect for rocking a baby to sleep. Shipping was very fast the only complaint is that it was left on the walkway and not under the protected stoop and it was raining that day.
