after a few months and not a lot of stress on the rocker, it developed a crack in the backplate which appears to have started with the back head plate being not fastened correctly when they built it. Since then the bottom of the back spindles(dont know the name) have come loose and the racker has become limited in its use. I bought it because most rockers are too narrow in the hips and are not built for my weight but the wood used here seems to be less than advertised. If I had known this chair was that fragile I would not have purchased it. Size for hips better and I really wanted to love it. The last rocker lasted about two or three decades this one less than 2 months.
would have been a nice chair IF
