Cant rest your head, feet cant reach the ground. Otherwise a good chair. It will get used.
This is a hybrid club/chair/rocker. Im a little confused by it.
First, it wasnt intuitive to assemble//we had to disassemble it halfway through and start over again. Also, allen wrenches were designed so that you can use the long end or the short end to access screws in various hard/to/reach positions, but this came with an allen wrench that had the short end blunted and rounded, which made screwing in certain hard/to/reach places with only the long end difficult.
The chair itself looks cool. Its bulky and sturdy and wide enough and seems durable; if you have room for a club chair, you need a little more room for this because it rocks and you dont want to be hitting the wall. The fabric is nice.
The chair slips around on carpet, sliding closer to the wall behind it. Might be better on hard floor.
The weird thing is the size. The back isnt high enough to lean your head back and rest your neck. Think about it//a rocking chair (like a recliner) is for relaxing: if you want to sit in a rocker, you probably want to rest your head back while knitting, nursing, or watching a movie. Rockers arent for socializing or eating or desk work (when youd want your head up like meerkat as the club chair offers). So I immediately thought of my mother/in/law, who at 51 might be able to lean her head back, and wondered if she might enjoy holding my baby in the chair; but then comes the height of the leg portion. While the thigh/distance (depth) isnt remarkable, the seat is high off the ground. My MILs legs would be swinging above the floor. In a rocker, you need your feet to push. Also it can be simply uncomfortable to have your legs hanging. I happen to own a nursing stool which will work very well, but without it rocking the chair would be difficult, even for medium/height people. I wonder if a company made too my club chairs that had some flaw in the legs, and they had extra rockers, and hacked the two together in a pinch.
