While this chair is beautiful, affordable and easy to assemble, it is not very comfortable to sit in, nor does it rock easily. It's like the rocker has a flat edge in the bottom, so instead of a smooth rocking, it has a more jarring rock. Once it sat on my porch for a couple of months (in the humidity of AL), the finish started getting sticky and rubbing off. I wouldn't buy these again and wouldn't recommend them unless you just want a nice looking chair (not to rock in), plan to use it with a cushion, and not wear white clothes!
