I am a Grandmother that spends a lot of time with my Grandkids. I keep them every chance I get and that is most weekends and holidays when Im not working. With two small Grandsons and two more on the way I needed a nursery again at my home. I have wanted and needed a rocking chair for the nursery for some time now. This chair arrived at just the right time and its perfect for my needs.
ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED
The rocker arrives in a large shipping carton that required some help getting onto my enclosed porch. From there I was able to remove the pieces one by one and take them inside. Enclosed is the chair seat base, the chair back, the cushion, two wooden rockers and two wooden supports that connect the rockers together. Assembly is putting the rocking base together first with the enclosed hardware and allen-wrench. Next is attaching the seat base to the chair back and then attaching the chair base to the rockers. The cushion slides into the chair once everything is assembled.
The color of the chair, Graphite, looks exactly like its shown here. Its a medium grey color.
The chair is a nice size. Just to give you an idea, I am a size 16-18 Grandmother. I fit in this chair with some room to spare.
When I sit in the chair the rocker leans forward. This measures approximately 16-1/2 from the floor to the top of the seat cushion.
I am 57 and when I sit in the rocker my legs extend out of the chair 6-7 inches. This is not uncomfortable. I am able to rock comfortably.
The area of the seat cushion available to sit on is 20-1/2 inches wide and 19 inches deep.
The chair is approximately 34 inches wide measuring from the outside armrest to armrest.
The wooden rockers are approximately 33 long measured from the front to back of the rocker. They are slightly longer than the base of the chair.
The tallest part of the chair is 37-38 inches measured from the floor up the back of the chair.
At rest the rocker does not sit centered on the wooden rockers. The chair weight pulls the rocker backwards with most of the weight sitting on the back rockers.
The chair did have a chemical smell when I opened the box but its almost dissipated after airing for a couple of days.
The seat cushion and the back cushion are firm but not uncomfortable.
I find its easy to stand up from sitting in the chair with baby. I have the chair on vinyl flooring but it doesnt slide around when I sit down or stand up.
I havent tried it on carpet but I dont see any reason why it wouldnt rock just as easily on carpet as, vinyl or wood flooring.
The microfiber material appears to be good/high quality. There were no tears, loose threads, loose upholstery anywhere on the chair.
Everything arrived in new condition and was easily put together by me. No help needed with the assembly.
Overall its a really nice rocker for a nursery or a bedroom. Its comfortable to sit in when rocking the babies or to just relax and read a book.
I would definitely tell anyone considering this chair to go for it. Its worth it.
