Have mixed feelings about this rocking chair. The good - all pieces looked good and the chair is attractive. Appears to be very sturdy. The not so good - it was a bit of a pain to put together. Many of the pre-drilled holes were not in the proper locations. Took a lot of time and patience to get it together. The runners were tedious to attach because of the type of screw and bolt they used. Will definitely need to buy cushions because this chair is not too comfortable as is. It is larger than I expected. It will work fine on our deck but if you have limited space it may not work out for you.
