I love modern furniture and knew I wanted a shell rocker for our daughter's nursery, but we're not exactly operating on an Eames budget. This rocker seemed to strike the right balance; nice looking, small enough for a nursery, and well-priced. My aunt gifted us with it and it arrived yesterday.
Assembly:
I assembled it in less than ten minutes, without any instructions (and I'm eight months pregnant with limited flexibility).
Quality:
I like the plastic shell, it's a clean white and slightly textured. It's definitely durable and easy to clean. Feels sturdy and well made.
Functionality:
As for the rocking motion, I find it smooth and easy on my hardwood floors. I haven't tested it on a rug yet. It is very comfortable. I can rest my arms on it with ease and has a nice cradling effect.
Size:
In terms of size, I will admit that I was worried. Previous reviewers felt that it is very small and I wondered exactly how small it would be. Child sized? Doll sized? Too small for a 5 foot 7 woman? Nah. I fit perfectly in this rocker. Even with the extra girth of pregnancy, I'm sitting comfortably in it. A few points about height and positioning though. It is low to the ground, but not so much that I'm crunched up (and I have long legs). Rocking is easy. A low hassock would be nice with this. One thing that does give me pause is the depth of the shell. It forces me to lean further back than I like. At first, I was a little worried that I'd go heels over head in this thing. I quickly realized that this would be unlikely to happen as the rails are well placed to keep it from toppling over backwards. Despite this, I'm probably going to use a small pillow behind my back.... Read more ›

Not bad and obviously way cheaper than the real thing or some other knockoffs of the real thing. Some small things worth noting--the hardware is on the cheap side (allen bolts likely to strip if you're not careful) but that is pretty typical of anything else in this price range. Not unexpected, just beware. The shell itself is a sort of textured plastic, semigloss--not the fiberglass of the original. No reason to expect anything else, but on close inspection the differences become apparent. I am mildly curious to see how it holds up over time as far as stains and such go. As noted in some other reviews, it IS smaller-seeming in real life than it would appear in photos. It sits fine and rocks nice enough, is comfortable enough for extended use, but honestly it looks kind of like a kid's chair. Not having the real thing next to it to compare I can't speak to its authenticity, but in our living room with the other furniture (couch, recliner) it does look oddly small. This wouldn't stop me from buying it again though; for the money it's a nice enough copy with the style of the original minus the cost (with some obvious caveats re: quality).

Well made. Went together just fine and feels sturdy. Legs are chrome, unlike the pictured black, but that was good in my opinion. It is a carbon copy of the original Eames RAR. If you're not familiar with the original, you may be surprised at how small the chair is. It fits us just fine, but in comparison to modern day chairs it is small.

I bought this chair for our nursery as I wanted something that wouldn't take up too much space. It's perfect in that it is small but spacious enough in the seat to be comfortable. It is very low to the ground, so be aware of this before you buy. I am also planning on using a pillow as back support as the chair is plastic and has no cushion.
I would have given more stars except that after owning the chair for a few weeks, it got a strange discoloration on it. The white ended up with strange grey spots - especially on the seat where the bolts attach to the underside. I have to place a blanket on it now so it looks ok. It's definitely noticeable.

My wife and I confess, we're addicted to mid-cetury modern. But we have an equally important confession; we're extremely cheap.
We love just about everything from Charles and Ray Eames, so seeing these Baxton Studio knockoffs was a high five moment.
We needed a new rocker for the boys' room for nursing and whatnot, and this worked splendidly.
It's a reproduction from China as you would expect, but the quality was about what we expected, and we're quite happy with it thus far.
If you're looking to have a Herman Miller reproduction in your house or office, you'll probably not in the market for one of these. But if you're a bit more plebeian, like saving more than a few bucks while having a mid-cent modern classic, you're in luck!
I've also always dreamed of owning a Nelson bench, but never could justify buying one because the one I wanted for my office was about $900, and, again, I'm cheap. So I waited to see how the Baxton Studio quality was on this cradle chair and another small stool we purchased on Amazon.
Well, I just ordered the Nelson bench for just over $200 after seeing the quality of the products we bought.
I just wish I would have seen the Baxton Studio gear a long time ago.

Very uncomfortable
Unless you want a sore neck and back, I would steer clear of this chair. It looks cool, but is quite small and offers no support for your head. Poor design.

Perfect...exactly what I needed.
Had to change a guest room into a nursery/guest room combo. in anticipation of my grandson and his parents' visit. I have an area too small for the standard rocking chair. Read more

Great retro rocking chair!
For the price, we are delighted with this Eames style Rocker. We plan to use it as our baby rocking chair for our first child. Looks great with our other retro furnishings!

Beautiful, no directions though
It's a great chair. Yes, it's low to the ground, but I like that. The rocking function is subtle and requires effort to keep it going. Read more

Sure, Its not a heirloom but who expected that?
The finishing misses on some refinements, but at a fifth the price, all you loose is a little self respect.
