Love the rockers, sturdy and look great.  I was able to put them together myself, using a table and a drill, took a while, but I was successful.  The second rocker was a repackaged return.  There were issues, with this rocker, had to take the seat apart and redo.  I do not think it is a good practice to ship out returns to new customers...would consider that if I knew in advance and offered a discount.
