I am saddened to write this review because we wanted to love these rocking chairs.  First, let me say that they are beautiful and seem very well built.  I absolutely love the way they look.  However, when you sit down on them, this Rocking Chair is VERY forward leaning.  I like to sit in a rocking chair and sit back and relax and rock.  With these chairs as soon as you sit, you must anchor your feet down in front of you to not lean forward.  They are beautiful chairs but not comfortable to sit down, lean back and relax.  Unfortunately, we will be returning them......
