Overall, this is a very nice rocking chair. The seat cushion is firm but comfortable, and the fabric is nice. It has a nice texture with little to no nap and would wipe up well if something spilled on it. My one complaint is that it does not rock back very far. The shape of the base allows the chair to move forward very easily, but when rocking back, it seems to stop. It would be more comfortable if the rocking allowed you to go back just a few more inches. This was a feature both I (5'6") and my husband (6'2") thought would be benficial.
