Love this chair for rocking my little one. Im 59 with a long torso and the back is high enough so that I can rest my head on it. Its very comfortable, but not too much so that I would fall asleep while nursing. The arms are a bit low for nursing, but I use a boppy pillow anyway so that doesnt matter to me. If I want to get truly nitpicky, the rocking isnt 100 smooth, but it hasnt been an issue at all. I would recommend this chair for any stylish nursery! Perfect balance of fashion and function.
