Just received  assembled this rocker. It’s very sturdy  seems to be of high quality. The instructions were a tiny bit lacking. I wasn’t sure which way the seat faced and there wasn’t anything to indicate what was front  back. I assembled it myself, but a second pair of hands would have been useful. It comes with the tool to put together- you just need a screwdriver for a couple pieces. I would suggest not following the instructions by tightening the screws as you build it. It was easier to fit everything together and have a bit of wiggle room to fit parts together before tightening everything. Overall, I’m very happy with the chair  would recommend it.
