This rocker is exactly what I wanted! I was looking for a rocking chair that would allow me to include my 4 year old once the new arrives. I was also hoping for a chair that could transition into another room once we didn t need it in the nursery and this totally fit the bill. I ll admit it doesn t move like a glider, but gliders get so squeaky that I hated the one we had with our first child. In order to increase the rocking motion, I ll be putting an office chair mat under the rocker (but I figure that can potentially help with catching any spills as well). As for the assembly, I m 6 months pregnant and did it by myself in about 45 minutes. The trick seems to be (as with most furniture assembly) to not completely tighten any screws until you ve got the whole thing together. Everything lines up much better that way and then you can tighten it all down.
