I wanted a rocker. I have fond memories of rocking in a chair when visiting my grandpa. 
My knees aren't great, so I need something higher off the ground.  The front of the seat was supposed to be 19 " high. What I didn't think about was when rocking forward to get out of the chair, the front of the seat would be lower than the 19".  Not a huge problem, but something someone might need to make note of.
I struggled a little getting the holes in the back to line up with the seat holes when assembling the chair.  Otherwise,it was a breeze to put together.
