This is a beautiful chair, very comfortable and just the right size for our bedroom. I love how it looks, very modern unlike many other baby rocking chairs. However, it is not sturdy enough. Before a year of use it had screws loose and squeaked horribly. We could feel the seat sinking too. If one is supposed to use this chair to rock a baby to sleep every night, it is very disappointing that before the year the chair makes such horrible noise, hard to put our baby to sleep. It was so unbearable that we ended up buying another. Because of the limited space and its cute look, and because it is comfortable and not so expensive we bought the same. Now crossing fingers and hoping this one is better.
