Thanks to the reviews, I felt comfortable ordering this chair.  It is all I hoped!  It's sturdy, easy to get into and out of, and gently sways.  I haven't figured out exactly where to put my glass and book; the first time I put my glass under the chair, it swayed the opposite direction when I reached for the glass (so the trick is to put the glass right under the edge of the chair.)  I bought a side table, but when sitting in the chair, it bumps the side table.  The good news that when I'm reading on my I-pad, I don't even have to come in when it gets dark ;-)  

Pros: FUN, comfortable, sturdy.
