I've always wanted a rocking chair and now I have one.  It is most comfortable with its cushion and many have been having fun rockin'  n rollin' in it.  I do have one issue.  The paint/varnish job was not done well.  The seams and places where parts were joined were not properly finished with paint/varnish.  This includes the arms, the back, and the seat.  Perhaps the rocker is different in colors other than brown.
