I'm 6' 1" tall and 230 pounds.  This rocker seems sturdy and is easy to use.  It is light enough to relocate frequently. I require additional neck support.  The seat and back are firm without much cushioning.  At my height and center of gravity there is very little rocking motion possible while seated. The finish is not durable and is easily marred during  assembly. The predrilled bolt holes provide little to no clearance for the bolt heads. The two cross bars beneath the seat are labeled 1 and 2 with stickers.  It is important to have the stickers facing upward and the number 2 bar in the front.  Assembly instructions are minimal and poorly printed.  This is not an heirloom product.  I use it 3 to 5 times a day and expect that it may last 3 to 5 years.
