We purchased this rocking chair for or granddaughter's first birthday.  It is a beautiful chair and is extremely well made,  very heavy duty.  We did have a problem with one of the arms being scratched when the chair arrived.  However, it was promptly replace with a new arm.  We were impressed by, not only the quality of the chair, but also the way in which the company dealt with us.  We later ordered the matching table and chair set for our granddaughter, which we were also very happy with.
