This is the third rocking chair for my daughter's nursery (the first two were vintage hand-me-downs), and I can't believe I waited so long to buy one that suits me. Those first two make me appreciate this more, though! The chair is well-balanced and stable, and although it does rock, it isn't loose -- it's very easy to get out of smoothly with a sleeping baby. The arms are low enough for nursing and the back is high enough to lean my head against. It's not an overstuffed chair but the padding is dense and supportive and very comfortable. And it looks great! And the footprint is modest. And the matching ottoman is very nice, too; I'd been using a small vintage footstool, but the generously-sized, well-padded ottoman is much more comfortable. I like the oatmeal-colored, slightly textured fabric, although I wish I'd treated it with Scotchgard before I began using the chair. My only complaint is that the bolts are a little finicky when you're putting it together.
Excellent chair for the price
