For a rocker, the style cannot be beat. I love rocking chairs and was trying to find something that didn't scream nursery. This one hits the mark for style (so many compliments on it) and the rocking motion is well balanced and nice. I also really like it because it's one of the few rockers with a headrest that comes up high enough to rest my head on (I'm 5'8"). Docked a star for a few reasons: 1) the directions for attaching the rocker legs were a bit confusing to follow. 2) it's not uncomfortable per se, but this definitely is not a "sink-into-the-cushions" type of chair. It's pretty firm. Hoping they will relax a little over time. 3.) Lastly, if you ARE considering this for a nursery, it is a little bit difficult to get in-and-out of. For me, this doesn't matter so much since I don't have a baby, but might be a good heads up for those purchasing for this purpose!
