We finally got this put together last night and ehh is my response.  Its lower to the ground than expected which isnt a huge deal but the cushion is not thick enough as mentioned in many other reviews.  You can definitely feel the metal bars through the thin pad.  I had read those same comments and decided to still stubbornly give it a try.  I would probably return if not all put together, I might still.  One option I am considering is buying a dog bed and putting it underneath the cushion, I think that would help immensely.  For the price though it should come with a thick comfy pad in my opinion, not worth what they are charging for this rocker.
