I purchased this chair based on the glowing reviews. A mistake I won't make again.  I respectfully disagree with those reviews. I love a nice rocking chair and wore out several gliders over the years. This has to be the most uncomfortable chair I have ever owned. When I first saw the chair online I wondered if the back of the chair, being so short, would be an issue. It is! It's awkward and doesn't support my shoulders and back. The seat is too long so my calfs rub on the front of the chair. I have to use a pillow behind my back to get somewhat comfortable. I would not make this purchase again. A HUGE disappointment. It's my fault for having purchased based on the reviews. I am out $400 and have a chair I probably won't use very much. Love the color, though. Thus it will be a very expensive ornament in my living room corner.
