I am a first time grandparent and had no idea of what to look for in a nursery rocking chair. I read the reviews regarding this rocking chair and decided to take a chance on it because I needed a compact chair for my nursery. This chair is too small to comfortably rock an infant especially for long periods of time. The back of this chair short so there is no room to rest your head. The arm rests are to low also adding to the discomfort of this chair. After about two months, this chair started squeaking. I was constantly having to shift around in the chair to quite the squeaks and this woke the baby. My time frame to return this chair had passed. Returning this chair requires dismantling and finding a box large enough to place it in so keep the orginal packaging for a while. My experience with this style of rocking chair has left me very disappointed and aware of what to look for in my next rocking chair. A nursery rocking chair should be comfortable and roomy as well as having adequate head and arm support for those extend periods of time that require rocking. A chair that swivels instead of just rocking back and forth is a plus also. So disappointed!
Not a comfortable rocking chair for a nursery.
