Read the dimensions carefully. This is the second rocking chair that I have bought. The first one was more comfortable, but its seat was made up of springs, fastened with large staples. They started coming loose during the first two weeks. I'm 5'7 and weigh 170. Yes, I'm overweight. With this chair, I have about 3 1/2" of space left. The length of the seat supports me only about half way up my thighs. The seat cushion I placed on it hangs 2 1/2" inches over the front of the seat. My back is not shaped like the back of the chair, either. So I added a back cushion, which just makes my legs hang over even more. I found out today that unless I exert a lot of effort, the chair won't rock back. (I haven't been home in while.) What I'm saying is that manufacturers are doing a poor job of telling people what sizes their chairs will support. If you have short legs and a butt of no more than 36" and weigh no more than 150, then this might be your chair. It is beautiful, but impractical for most people.

The quality of the chair is excellent! It's solid and nicely finished. The assembly was simple and quick. Six screws attach the top to the bottom and thats it! They even include the wrench.

For me this chair is ideal. I'm only 5'4" and have short legs. This chair is fairly low to the ground. The seat is about 15 inches from the floor (I think a standard chair is 18 inches.) My feet touch the ground which I'm very pleased about. The chair seat is wide and roomy and, for me, it reaches to about 3/4 of the length of my thigh...a couple inches above my knee. An extra inch or so on the depth would be good but I'm not unhappy the way it is.

I would highly recommend this chair for shorter people. Those of us vertically challenged love finding chairs that our feet don't dangle from. People with longer legs will probably not be happy with it.

i love this rocking chair ! i'm 5'1 and this fits me. when ever i've used other rocking chairs in the past its been awkward. but the Carolina is perfect if you too are a little shorter than average. the seat is good size too. my son is two years old and likes to be rocked to sleep, this seat in great for that. it has enough room for me to hold him on my lap. this is 'mommys chair' and i love to sit on this chair when chilling out, i prefer it over the couch. i might get a cushion for it later but not in any hurry because its fine as is. the wood seems sturdy enough and the color is the same as the picture. it ships and arrives in a timely fashion and my husband said that it was pretty easy to assemble. i'm really enjoying it and definitely recommend it.

Over this is a great product, easy to put together. My wife love to use it when she needs to feed our baby. However, I would have to say that the way this product came packaged is one of the worst I've seen. The box was heavily damaged and the product had paint scrapes, deep scratches as a result of POOR packaging. It looked used because of these scratches. I did not want to go through the hassel of calling them up to return the unit which would have damaged it more because the original box was already unusable.

We were all happy with this chair until, less than 5 weeks after purchase, my husband was sitting in it and the leg unit on the left side fell off, tossing him to the ground. Thankfully it was not my daughter and the 5 week old baby that fell. My husband is 5'8" and of normal weight. The chair did not "break", it came apart while rocking.

I was hesitant about buying this chair after reading all the reviews, but I decided to take a risk and order it. I am not disappointed! It is not as small as people say it is, if you are 5'4" or shorter and not obese you'll probably have no problems with this! My husband is 6 feet tall and although rocking is a bit awkward for him, he uses this chair often to feed our baby. It is too big for our 10-year-old, so it is definitely designed for adults. The only down side is the rockers under the legs should be longer, it'd be easier to rock if they were - the chair has a bit of resistance when you rock in it. Other than that, it's very solid, comfortable, and it's made of real wood. It came well packaged, though the wood was chipped in a few places (barely noticeable unless you're really looking). I'm really glad I bought it, it's great for the nursery.

We purchased this rocker for my son's second grade teacher (as a class) to commemorate her first year teaching. She is a fantastic teacher (a complete natural), and I was so pleased we were able to get something for her that was affordable but of such high quality. The rocker is so solid - both in look and in structure - and it is extremely comfortable to sit in. It's also very easy to assemble. While I was concerned about others' comments regarding it being best for shorter people, she's 5'7", and it fit her very well. Some of the taller dads in the class even tried it and proclaimed it very comfy. Sorry to see it's currently out of stock - I came back to purchase one for myself!

We are very satisfied, thought it might be smaller than what we wanted but it is not. I am 6' 180 and rocker is perfect. Was easy to assemble, bolts could have been 1/4" longer but they are OK.
Shipping & packaging excellent.
Thank You

This is a small rocker but just perfect for me. It fits my LR and iI find it to be very comfortable

I purchased this rocking chair to rock my grandson. It is a beautiful rocking chair, with a nice finish and durable construction. It is well proportioned and comfortable. I looked for awhile before I made a purchase and I am very satisfied with this rocking chair. This will be a nice family heirloom to pass on.
