We bought a pair of these and went with because of their reputation for quality. If I were reviewing the rockers based on the first one I opened and put together it would be a solid five stars with rave reviews. That chair was virtually flawless. Every connection was perfect and I had it put together by myself within 45 minutes even without directions. It would have been half time that if Id been paying attention and not put the chair back on backwards. While there are no instructions keep in mind that the longer screws are for the seat and the shorter ones for the back.
After getting it put together we ended up with one of these wettest months Ive ever seen in what should be our best weather so waited for good weather to open the next one. Wow. What a difference! This one is rough over most of the chair. One of the wooden dowels that attach the chair back to the arms/rockers is so short it will barely do any good. The putty and glue work is sloppy. Most concerning though is how bad the pre/drilled holes are. The edges of the holes are damaged and a couple of them are such large ovals Im going to have to find washers to keep the screws from sinking down through the arms. I think I can salvage it but its just not the quality I would expect / especially after seeing the first. Thankfully I grew up working for my contractor father so this lady is handy with tools and have whatever Ill need on hand.
Like others have said the seat cushions are thin and not very comfortable / especially for old rears like ours. Id already planned on buying new ones because beige just isnt my color so thats not a big deal to us. My best recommendation is to open the box as soon as you get it and look the chair over.
Inconsistent quality
