This is such a great chair, and very affordable. We purchased it for my mother-in-law for Christmas. We were looking for a white rocker that could stand being left outside in any type of weather. It was easy to assemble (hubby put it together), and pretty sturdy as far as we can tell. Definitely needs a cushion for the seat. She's only had it for a month and because it's winter here hasn't used it outside. I may post a follow-up review after this summer! It's really cute too.
