I have really enjoyed this rocking chair in my baby's room. I bought it to replace a noisy, squeaky glider. It's a lighter, more golden cherry finish than the rest of my nursery furniture and doesn't match exactly, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a richer, redder cherry color. I hope to enjoy this chair even after my child is grown. It's sturdy and the wood is solid. I also like that it's wider and roomier than other rocking chairs I've seen. My husband can rock the baby and be comfortable, too.
