I purchased another rocker from the same company (GCM) for a relative and loved it so much I had to buy one for myself! I love the quality craftsmanship of my beautiful rocking chair. Delivery was as indicated and wonderful customer service again. Thanks GCM!

I never give bad reviews but this product warrants it. Solid Oak? I don't think so. Almost every part of this rocker is made of laminated smaller pieces of "oak" that come apart when exposed to the smallest amounr of rain - and I'm talking drizzle. I assembled the rocker using the included screws and pre-drilled screw holes (two of which were drilled too large to make the screw tight so I had to rummage through my garage for larger diameter ones). One of the rocker feet split at a joint while assembling it with a hand screwdriver so there must've been a hairline crack that wasn't perceptable at the time of unpacking. And after spending an evening on my covered front porch, the small amount of drizzle which landed on the rocker overnight was enough to make the white "paint" flake from the tops of the spindles and split the seat frame and main support post.

The other thing that really buggedf me was the shape of the top spindles was not the same as the one in this picture. They were straight with domed tops, a bit cheaper looking than the finial style shown in the photo. Obviously this chair was made by the lowest bidder somewhere overseas.

Repeated emails received no response regarding the problems. So please don't make the same mistake I did. Do not buy this rocker.
