This is a really nice rocking chair! My husband helped me assemble it, and it was easy with the instructions. I intended for it to be placed on my bedroom balcony as pictured, but it almost didnt make it there because this thing is SUPER COMFY and fits well in our master bedroom. Ive dozed off in this bad boy several times.  Now that its outside, I intend to buy another one for our bedroom and maybe one more for our deck. Its roomy to fit a  6, nearly 300-lb. man with no issue, so its definitely got enough space for a 55 woman half his size.
