Easy to put together despite other reviews. Just follow directions step by step. I do wish it would have been offered with matching footrest in the grey color. Gorgeous and Good Quality
The seat is uncomfortable. It has a ridge across the back of the seat about two ins. wide, then sags a bit, the whole seat has a forward pitch, feels like you might slide forward. On the other hand.it looks nice. But other than that its nice
Tall back for head support, cushioned arms, and comfortable ( I suggest a small pillow at the lower back ). Worked great as a rocker for the nursery. Ive spent hours in this chair rocking a baby. Worth the price. Bought a second one for my mother bc its so nice for the price. IT is EXACTLY like pictured. Beautiful
I bought this chair to replace an original Monte rocking chair that was just destroyed in my vacation rental. It was way more affordable than to replace the upper or reupholster it. This chair is sturdy, heavy and well built.but its extremely firm and too large for me and the space! Im 52 and I cant touch the ground and the cushions are hard as a rock so Ive had to layer it with pillows and sheepskin. If using this as a nursing chair (as my first Monte was) youll definitely need the support, but also a footstool. It looks great.but for me its for a rental not for everyday. I assembled this myself with an electric screwdriver.Im handy but this took me some time to wrestle with it because its so heavy. LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
Its a chair. And it rocks. It is not a chair that you sink into and sigh ahh at the end of a long day. It is a chair that you sit in. And you can rock in it, though it doesnt really inspire you to do so. But at this price point, it is what it is. A chair.
Price was right and shipping was way faster than predicted.
Details:
It is fairly sturdy, and sufficiently tall. As a man 65 and 250lbs, it fits me fine, even with the long arms and long legs. Is it the most comfortable chair in the world. No. But. its a chair. You sit on it. It does chair things, like being sat on. Lets not overthink it.
It came well packaged. The outer box was a bit rough/dented. The contents were just fine, though.
The runners were labeled as to which end was the front, and had a strip of soft material attached to the bottom, presumably for wood floors. It was a nice touch.
The hardware was clearly labeled, and the instructions were sufficient. Not great, but sufficient. In short: install all of the screws halfway / this gives you flexibility to line up the holes. Then tighten all the screws. My suggestion is to tighten from the runners to each other first, then runners to frame, then the bottom of the back piece, then the sides of the back piece.
I had no problems with missing or misaligned holes, and didnt have to get creative during assembly.
Assembly was simple and took roughly an hour with the included hex key.
The chair is exactly what I expected. It is not heirloom furniture, but it isnt meant to be. Its a step above IKEA in my opinion.
Its a chair. Im happy with it.
UPDATE:
I ended up flipping the runners backwards and the chair is much more open to the idea of rocking. However, this change of the chairs geometry may make it less usable for short people as it now tilts much further back. Worth every dime
We were having problems with the delivery but when reporting it, costumer service from the company was very effective and we had a replacement in no time. The chair is aming, a high quality item, very comfortable, it is also very sturdy and easy to assemble. I really love how it look like
The holes dont align for the back support. We almost returned it but my husband was able to get it. We would say its not worth it for the trouble you have to go through to assemble but if youre willing, good luck. Its very sturdy and stuff when you 1st sit in it but we are sure it just has to get broken into. Great choice for reasonable price

Pleased with purchase.

Mmmm, so so
The seat is uncomfortable. It has a ridge across the back of the seat about two ins. wide, then sags a bit, the whole seat has a forward pitch, feels like you might slide forward. On the other hand.it looks nice. But other than that its nice
Love it!
We absolutely love this rocker. Super comfy and perfect for our Baby Girls nursery! Very good value for high quality.
Nursery rocker, tall back for head support.

Solid and nice looking, not necessarily comfy

COMFORTABLE CHAIR
The chair is very comfortable and great for mothers that are nursing . This chair looks great, love it! Met my needs perfectly!
It is more a chair that rocks than a rocking chair

not built for shorter folks.
Not built for shorter legged people and rocks back uncomfortably far for me, but my taller husband is ok. Best purchase ever!
Excellent chair and wonderful costumer service
