Five Star Reviews: | 70% Love It January 24, 2017 This is a rocking chair no pun intended lol! took me about 45 minutes to put together may take you longer or it make take you less . This chair does not come in a million pieces either it comes in about 5 pieces and when you put it together you will have to use a allen wrench which is included. Just follow the instructions because I know I could not have put it together without the instructions. Best of all it is a awesome rocking chair for a good price. This is a surprisingly nice chair for the price January 15, 2017 This is a surprisingly nice chair for the price, good quality and attractive, easy enough to assemble. The wood may be slightly lighter than the picture though. Beautiful piece of Furniture! January 14, 2017 Absolutely beautiful piece of furniture. Very solid feel - heavy duty. Not at all difficult to put together. Shipped in one box, but well insulated to protect the contents. Better quality than most gliders August 8, 2015 My husband and I are both over 6 feet tall and are not petite so we had concerns with other gliders/chairs and their likelihood to stand up over time. This chair was very easy to put together and is definitely quality. No concerns that this chair won't last for years. I would recommend also purchasing some type of foot stool (we got ours from Babies-R-Us for $30) as well as a dining chair pad just to make it a little more comfortable as sitting on a solid wood surface for a while eventually becomes uncomfortable. Very nice! April 11, 2014 Was really surprised, this was exactly what we were looking for when trying to find a rocker/glider for our baby room. I didn't want a glider as most of those look like they belong in a baby room and wouldn't be used much after we weren't rocking babies. This rocking chair will look great in any room in the house after we are done with it in the baby room.Bought a padded cushion for it only because the wife complained, but I found nothing wrong with the comfort at all. I'm 5 foot 11 and about 215 (all muscle, cough cough) and it is really comfortable. The perfect fit, very relaxing. It seems very well made and wasn't too hard to put together. A Great Chair August 11, 2012 This rocking chair was made in Vietnam. It is well constructed with very tight fitting joints. The packaging was heavy duty and the parts were individually wrapped in plastic and reinforced with foam blocks for protection. It arrived 2nd day shipping and in perfect condition. Two pages of assembly instructions were easy to understand and assembly took less than an hour. The only tool required for assembly is an allen wrench and that is supplied with the bolt assembly kit. In my opinion this is a great buy... a fine chair that will be enjoyed practically and aesthetically in our home for many years. | 56% Great purchase! June 30, 2016 This chairs are a great deal and just darling! They went together without any problems and very quickly! Great purchase!!! Rock on! August 13, 2015 Beautiful smooth finish. Quick to assemble (I used a rachet rather than the enclosed hex tool) and had two new rockers on my porch in under an hour. Comfortable for my short 62" height---I cannot always get my toes on the floor without a slouched position or 3-4 pillows behind my back. This is a good sized rocker without being GIANT like so many I have encountered at the local stores. Great chairs. We have two and they go together ... June 1, 2015 Great chairs. We have two and they go together no problem. Large crews and they hold me and I am 250lbs with my son on my lap. Have a hand drill and about 20 minutes then you will be rocking away. The paint job is fine, a few imperfections but what do you expect from a chair in a box? All of the parts came insulated and tied so there were no issues with shipping. I would buy this again and recommend to others. Oh, a few people have mentioned that they are not all that comfortable, well that is somewhat true and should generally be expected. Pick up a cushion and you'll be all set. Overall good purchase and very sturdy. NICE FARMER'S PORCH ROCKER October 13, 2014 Purchased this rocker as a birthday gift for my wife. It fits our farmer's porch perfectly.Assembly was easy, but the cheap tool stinks. Use your allen bit to assemble.Been out on the porch since July, expose under cover to the elements without any fail of the paint or wood. Wife loves it, so therefore, it good as far as I'm concerned. QUALITY CONSTRUCTION!!!!The only thing that you'll need with this chair once it's assembled is a pitcher of ice tea or lemonade. Great Rocker December 2, 2013 This rocker went together very nicely. Yes, the shipping box was pretty banged up, but the rocker was none the worse for wear. I especially like that it is a great outdoor rocker. easy to assemble August 26, 2013 I bought two of them. They look sharp on the front porch.Seem to be weathering the elements just fine. |
Four Star Reviews: | 12% This is a nice rocker. The only problem I had was that ... September 18, 2017 This is a nice rocker. The only problem I had was that the back section came loose when I leaned on it because it wasn't glued and the back didn't slide into the slot far enough. Because the upper crossbar was firmly in place, I couldn't slide the side over for the lower back section to slide further in. I therefore filled the slot with furniture glue to hold it in place. It is now working well. Four Stars November 14, 2016 It's comfortable and sturdy enough but it's not as good as those old rocking chairs Lighter color than expected, but solid September 20, 2016 Seems like a quality chair, but color is much lighter than the photo. I really like this rocker and it was really easy to put ... September 16, 2016 I really like this rocker and it was really easy to put together. It is also super roomy and seems sturdy. There is one small defect and that is a small crack in one of the arms of the chair. I have contacted the company to see if we can get a replacement part for it. Hoping to hear back from them in a couple days. For the price of this rocker is it of really high quality. Much more affordable and durable that those gliders to put in a nursery. Easy assembly but slow delivery. December 8, 2012 I give the chair 4 stars and the company's delivery and communication one star. I received the UPS notification that the chair would be delivered on a Wednesday. That day came and went. I contacted the company and found out the shipment had been delayed. They never notified me. If I hadn't contacted them, I'd probably still be waiting.For the price, I think it's a nice chair. It all goes together with an allen wrench. It's a gift for my mother-in-law and she likes the dark walnut color. solid chair August 30, 2012 I initially thought it was very low on the ground, and it is, but after using it a few times I realized that you need a thick cushion to be comfortable which brings it up to a better height.The chair is very well made. Did not need glue. | 18% They assemble very easily. Would have been nice if the screws were ... October 4, 2016 They assemble very easily. Would have been nice if the screws were white at the top because you can see where it assembles. But that wasn't a deal breaker for me. They seem pretty sturdy, but I have them on my front porch and they don't get a ton of use. Front porch Rockin' April 12, 2016 easy to put together, didnt take that long. good and sturdy! nice white paint, look so pretty on our porch. it was the cheapest i had found on here....but sadly a couple months after i purchased them i found other while rocking chairs for half the price elsewhere- a lil dissapointed :/instruction were easy to read, even for beginners. all pieces and tools were in the box. overall happy! Good rocking chair December 21, 2015 It's a nice little rocking chair and was easy to put together. The only problem is that you need a Phillips head screwdriver (you could use a flathead if need be) and the instructions say all you need is included. Overall Good product, especially for the price. Good fit and finish May 14, 2015 Bought two of them. Good fit and finish. Went together easily and they look great on the front porch. Comfortable -- not the greatest quality April 13, 2015 Like them -- however had ordered 2 of them and the one didn't want to fit together due to a fraction off where they wood snaps into the back of the chair. Ended up having to use an exacto knife to carve out enough to make it fit. It has slight cracks in the wood. feels sturdy and rocks well March 4, 2015 Some parts did not fit exactly together. Did have to make some minor alterations to the fittings, so have a pocket knife handy upon assembly. All other materials are included, feels sturdy and rocks well. I love that the arm rests are wide enough to set a cup or glass. |
Three Star Reviews: | 7% Comfy, but no replacement parts November 13, 2016 I bought this chair a year and a half go, and after the trouble I had assembling it, I was very happy. The other day, though, one of the arms came loose, and I found that the screw that holds the arm to the back had a broken end. After It's okay... August 30, 2016 In the picture it looks darker but its actually a lighter red...Which I don't mind at all! But, the reason I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 5 is because a lot of the parts didn't really fit right. On the bottom there is two wooden pieces that connect the chair...One of the wooden pieces is an inch to short. Which is just a pain in the ass because you can't use it. Some of the pieces are a really PAIN to put together but if you can get them to work, then its a good looking chair. The only reason I'm not sending it back is because I trust the wood. I had ordered a different rocking chair before I had ordered this one and I hated it...the wood was crappy and it was broken in more than one spot. If you're wanting a chair that has durable and wont break, I would recommend this one. But I hope you like pain in the ass instructions and a part that might or might not fit. Disappointed, but the quality is good. March 18, 2016 The color is not the same as the picture at all. It's a medium/light brown not a dark color. I was disappointed. It still looks ok, but I wanted the darker color to match my house. If you are going to drop a good amount of money on a chair then this one ... February 16, 2016 If you are going to drop a good amount of money on a chair then this one isn't bad, but there is something you should know about the chair. When I was putting it together I had a bit of trouble getting some pieces to fit. I thought that I was putting it together incorrectly but I was following the instructions exactly. Turns out that some of the measurements of the chair are a little off. I was able to put it together, but I had to force some parts fit in order to finish. Better off with IKEA January 4, 2015 Basically functions as a rocking chair, but poor quality. Decided to return.1) The long rod that connects the two legs was the incorrect size.You are supposed to connect the two legs together with a long an d short rod, then attach to the bottom of the seat. The rods had cylindrical ends that are supposed to fit into holes in the leg frame. Because the cylinder on one end is too long (see pictures), you cannot fit the long rod in and line up the holes in the leg frame with the holes in bottom of the seat (see picture). Instead, we had to continue assembly without the long rod. Now, I am 110 lbs, so I can sit in the chair no problem, but if you are above that weight like my husband is, then you would want that extra brace for structural support. For that reason we are returning the chair.2) The arm rests do not fit correctly with the chair back.The arm rests are carved out so that they can fit against one of the rods in the chair back, however, the curve is at the wrong angle for a proper fit (see picture). Either we received the wrong arm rests or the holes in the seat were drilled at an incorrect angle. To demonstrate, I uploaded a picture of just the arm rest attached to the chair back. The arm rest would have to be inserted into the seat at about an 18-20 degree angle for a correct fit. You can use the screws to force the armrest against the chair back, resulting in large gaps. If you do, be careful about how much force you use because you may begin splintering the wood. I may have settled for that if it had not been for the rod problem.I tried switching the short and long rods, switching the left and right arm rests, assembling parts in different a different order, everything I could to get this chair assembly to work. In the end, we saved time and money getting a rocking chair from IKEA. While that store has a bad rap for selling cheap furniture, I have never had this many problems assembling their products. At the very least, I would have expected this type of poor workmanship from IKEA rather than be surprised and frustrated. | 6% It's okay for the price. September 30, 2016 The seat slats are a little uncomfortable where they reach your legs and the back of the chair is too straight. On the positive side, it's well made, easy to assemble. Lacking comfort July 16, 2016 Packaging was cumbersomeAssembly was easy (no glue just screws)The paint job was goodDoesn't rock like a quality rocking chairNot a comfortable chair. Not great. October 8, 2014 Good seat size, easy assembly for 2 people. Finish not great. Screw holes not covered. Nice high back. Back is too upright August 31, 2013 Appears to be a quality constructed chair but the ergonomics are lacking. The back doesn't allow for a very relaxed posture which is one of the appealing characteristics of a rocking chair. I guess it's suitable for reading but not so much for being at ease. Help with assembly April 26, 2013 I love the appearance of the two chairs that I bought. However, my husband assembled them and found that several of the screws are either stripped or nearly. I can't find a way to contact the manufacturer to ask for some more screws. |
Two Star Reviews: | 4% Overall disappointed that the pieces were not made properly to make ... April 21, 2017 Parts of the chair do not fit correctly or align with one another. Trying to figure this out and setting it up, assembling was a pain. The bottom legs do not properly fit with the seat. The arm rest does screw properly with the body. Overall disappointed that the pieces were not made properly to make a good fit chair. I ordered two one was in good condition the other was delivered with broken parts December 5, 2016 I ordered two one was in good condition the other was delivered with broken parts. The return process was Fairly easy but still not ideal. The chair is well built and comfortable. The dark color in the picture is inaccurate it is very light in clolor. It's not a bad color just not what we wanted. We wanted the color represented in the picture description. I would only recommend if light brown is what you want. It's also a toss up as 50% of what I ordered was broke. Good, but misleading... November 29, 2016 Great chair! Assembly was a bit misleading - needed to add 3 nuts for screws to secure chair back to chair bottom. Color was also significantly lighter than the product pictured. REALISTIC COLOR NOT SHOWN January 20, 2016 The "medium brown" color shown is far from the actual color of the chair. The "medium brown" color is in actuality a "light brown" color. Not at all what I wanted. If you like the color shown, you're going to be extremely disappointed. December 16, 2015 Extremely, extremely, extremely disappointed in the color of this piece. I matched this chair to other furniture before purchasing, and ended up with a medium, cherry colored chair. It looks like my kitchen table/chairs. Yuck!The only reason I am not returning this piece is because I am not dealing with the hassle.In a nutshell, if you've fallen in love with the rich color of this chair, look elsewhere. Not worth the hassle! While the product came in well packaged and quickly the ... September 12, 2015 While the product came in well packaged and quickly the actual pieces of the woid had some scratches and discoloration on it making the furniture sear used and not brand new. Also a washer was missing in the bag. | 6% Cute But Uncomfortable. July 7, 2016 These chairs are cute to look at on my front porch, but they are so uncomfortable we hardly ever sit in them. Boo! I will probably replace them next year for something more appealing to sit in. Quality is not the greatest January 23, 2016 We purchased two of the Merry Garden White Paint Traditional Rocking Chairs for our front porch. The packaging was OK and at first glance the chairs looked good. As far as putting the chairs together, you definitely need two people to do it and be prepared that the pieces might need to be reshaped with a scraper so they fit correctly. One chair had a noticeable crack between the parts after putting in the screws and the other one sounded like it'll break any second if you wanted to sit on it.Giving the fact that both chairs were on sale for around $110 when we bought them, which was half of the original price, the quality was not satisfying at all. How embarrassing. December 15, 2015 Don't buy this chair I got it for my son for Christmas for his front porch and he had his uncle over and his uncle set in the chair and the darn thing broke how embarrassing.. The seat the slabs on the seat broke. I was very disappointed in the comfort of this chair December 4, 2015 I was very disappointed in the comfort of this chair. The back is straight so has no curvature to support or form to your back. My parents bought two rocking chairs from Walmart for $78 last summer and they are much more comfortable. These chairs look look great and the quality is good for the price. So if you just want something to sit out on your front porch for the look, this would be fine. I haven't tried putting chair pads in them. Look great, but uncomfortable October 27, 2015 Look great, but uncomfortable. easy enough to assemble but they feel a but they are cheap wood. If its for decor they are great, but if you want to use every day spend another $50 and get a better more comfortable chair. arrived broken May 5, 2014 arrived broken- had to repair it upon arrivial. assembly relatively easy, but not packed well for shipping, thefore the arm was cracked and I had to glue it. |
One Star Reviews: | 7% 120 pound wife sat in it and rocked back and ... January 5, 2017 120 pound wife sat in it and rocked back and forth about 3 times and the whole back snapped off at the base where the back meets the seat. Returned for refund. Don't waste your money and time. November 25, 2015 Wrong color. Easy to put together and looked nice but one of the rockers was defective. Bumpy and loud when you rock. Do not buy this chair. COLOR IS NOT AS ADVERTISED May 5, 2015 The color of the rocker is not what is advertised. Maple is Not Walnut. Was Missing the package of screw covers WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!! February 3, 2013 We ordered this chair as a gift for friends with a new baby. We thought the child would be driving before we got the chair in a condition that was usable.Parts were broken and replacement parts took a LONG TIME to arrive. The company kept giving us excuses as to what was wrong. The company promised discounts "for our trouble". We initially got a partial credit. We did finally get the credit but only after MANY email exchanges and finally contacting Amazon. The company told us that they processed claims in the order that they were received. If it takes months to process a claim, we wonder how many problem claims they must have. There are a million rocking chairs out there, save yourself the headache and find a different company to deal with. Great Rocking Chair July 3, 2012 It arrived on time, really easy to assemble and the chair looks great! The chair is probably not good for taller people, but it seems to be very strong. It's also very wide. | 14% One Star August 30, 2016 There is a large crack on on the right side on the back and the back is bent over Went to Cracker Barrel and got much better chairs! July 3, 2016 Ordered these but ended up sending them back. Wood was cracked and just overall cheap product! Went to Cracker Barrel and got much better chairs! The predrilled holes did not line up; the wood ... May 20, 2015 The predrilled holes did not line up; the wood cracked when bolts were tightened. Chairs broke in order to be returned. Very disappointing after reading so many positive reviews; our experience was the exact opposite. :( Very uncomfortable. Very disappointed. December 30, 2014 This rocking chair looks beautiful and it's easy to build but it is very uncomfortable. I regret this purchase 100% but unfortunately my husband disposed of the box so I cannot return it.The back of the rocking chair is not deep, it has little depth so the result is one cannot sit back comfortably. I bought expensive high quality cushions for it but I can't use them because the rocking chair is designed so poorly - that once you put the cushions on, there is no room to rest my back.It's extremely uncomfortable. I do not recommend it. |
