This rocker has been through a lot in my family. I bought it before my second child arrived, and I quickly discovered it is *the* place to rock either of my kids to sleep. I can't even imagine how many hours I've sat in this chair. Countless nights spent rocking a sick baby, a sad baby, a sleepy baby, a happy baby, a nursing baby, etc. Now that I'm expecting my third child YEARS LATER, this rocker is still my go to place to relax.It's narrow, and as a narrow woman, I love that. It shows minimal wear for how much wear it has received. Every so often, we tighten bolts or fluff pillows.I spent 174 on this a few years back, and it's well worth that and more. I was nervous as all online furniture pretty much ends up stinking for us, but this has held up. Would I recommend it for a broad person? Nah. Heavy person? Nah. Petite mom looking for something that'll last through a few kids? Oh yeah.
