For the price, this exceeded my expectations. The material feels very nice. Color was true to image. The rock is small but just enough; I don’t want to feel like I’m going to fall back when I’m rocking. The footrest is comfortable and goes up easy; yes, it goes down a little hard and makes a noise but for this price that doesn’t bother me. The back is shorter, but I am short so it works for me (5’3”) but my husband likes it too (5’11”). Firm cushion but not too firm. The back can’t recline unless the footrest is up, but again, it’s cheap, not a lazboy, but I also didn’t shell out a grand. Very happy!
