I love my new rockers. When I saw them in the box I kind of panicked.  My husband just came home from having neck surgery. So it would be up to me to figure out how to get them together.  The instructions are simply and easy to understand. I had a little trouble figuring out how to put the barrel screws together. Truly the hardest part for me.  They are sturdy ( my husband weighs 290 lbs) and big. My husband found them very comfortable.  I need to weather proof them and put them out on my small patio on the side of my home. Can't wait to set out on a nice day & rock my grandchildren or get lost in a good book.
