We purchased 6 of these, two red and 4 mahogany. They are very sturdy and heavy chairs. The red is very bright red and looks great on our deck overlooking the Great Smoky Mountains. We replaced some old and rotted wooden rocking chairs. We believe these will last much better. The first was a little difficult to put together, but the others went much faster once we figured it out. We followed the directions but there wasn't an online video for this rocker on YouTube. Having two people was very helpful during the last step. Don't hesitate if you are interested in these rockers. A good value!
