My husband I love this rocker! It does sit back kind of weirdly but we just pushed it up against the wall a bit and it looks great. The fabric is soft and the rocker is really comfy. My cat thinks we bought it for her and sits on it all day. She is going to have a rude awakening when the baby arrives in October! :-) The good thing is that the fabric doesn't hold onto the cat hair so it's easy to keep clean even. So happy with this purchase!
