We are replacing some similar rocking chairs with these.  We found them to be of less quality than our previous ones which lasted 9 years and were under $90, purchased at Meijer.  My husband feels the need to caulk the chairs as they don't fit as snuggly  as they should.  Additionally some of the holes were not correctly recessed into the wood.  These will be used on a covered outdoor front porch.  Hopefully we will get a few years or more out of them.
