We got the rocking chair for my sons room at my mothers house. It is not for everyday use for us. 

The pros
- it feels really sturdy 
- it is nice looking and goes perfect with his backdrop
- rocks enough to be relaxing
- easy to put together. I did it on my own in about 15 mins

The cons
- cushioning could be a little softer
- I wish the arm rest were higher and that may be because I am tall. 
- the high back on the chair is perfect for laying your head back

Overall I am happy with my purchase.
