I bought two Vermont Wooden Rockers and I am more than pleased. They arrived carefully packaged, wrapped and protected. All the parts were there. The wood is even better than I expected. They re not just everything that was advertised, but even better. That said, a word of caution about assembling them.
While a tiny combo Allen wrench/screw driver comes with the chairs, I didn t even try using it because I knew it wouldn t provide the torque required for tightening the bolts. I used a power drill to fasten the screws for the rocker pieces and my own Allen wrench because it provided a better grip. The most important caveat concerning the assembly is DO NOT FASTEN ANY BOLTS UNTIL THE LAST STEP. Even though I followed this direction, you really need to keep the pieces loose in order to get all of them in their proper slots. With proper tools, figure an hour per chair to assemble.
Bottom line, great product, great price.
Love em, but take your time when assembling
