The legs of this rocking chair are beautiful, smooth and sturdy. The seat and back of the chair are well made and very nice looking. Putting the chair together was easy. The seat is wide (which is nice) but it is stiff. I am returning this chair because you need a lot of back and front room for this chair (i.e. you need to place it far from the wall). It naturally sits very tilted back, my son (3 yrs old) has trouble getting onto the chair alone and when he gets off the chair it fly backwards and hits the wall. Beautiful looking, but not the right chair for us.
Please note, if you return this chair, it does come in 2 boxes so you do need 2 labels which costs about *** in total.
