Generally pleased with this chair. Solid construction. Easy assembly (provided you install all bolts only 1/4 inch initially).
Almost perfect. However, one flaw I found very annoying. The chair walks sideways as it rocks (on the order of 2 inches in 100 rocks). Laying a straight edge across the rockers, I found the outside edge of one rocker was 1-2 mm higher than the inside edge of the other rocker.
After fabricating a sanding jig to span the rockers, I was eventually able to get the bottom of the rockers parallel with the floor. This virtually eliminated the lateral walking. I contacted the vendor to report the issue, but received no reply.
The chair back length is 31.5 inches, which provides good head support. I personally find the chair somewhat uncomfortable without a cushion. Fortunately, the Poaeng Chair cushion ($39) fits almost perfectly.
UPDATE: Initially, I thought sanding the rockers had corrected the walking. However, the problem continued to get worse. Very odd, considering I rock slowly and gently.
I searched the internet; none of the suggested problems/solutions were applicable/worked. I purchased a contour gauge to confirm that the rockers had the same profile. I tried different rooms (viz., different floors); no change. I tried different mats/rugs; that only changed the direction of the walking. I even put tread tape on the rockers to increase friction; that only caused the chair to walk backwards as well as sideways.
I GIVE UP! Perhaps my chair is defective. I only know that I have spent many hours in other rocking chairs and never experienced such walking. This chair constantly walks into other furniture and/or the wall.
I purchased a rocking chair for relaxation. This chair has proved to be only frustration. Complete waste of money and time.
UPDATE: contacted me regarding this issue. I provided feedback which is using to improve the product.
has issued a full refund for the chair.
We have concluded the problem is an isolated incident specific to this production unit. No other reviewer has reported a similar problem to date. You should be able to purchase with confidence, knowing that stands behind their product and will remedy any problems.
