I ordered 2 of these rocking chairs in black and without the cup holder. I did a lot of research before making a decision to go with this particular chair. My goal was to buy a nice looking rocking chair that would last for many many years.
After receiving the chairs I attempted to assemble one of them. My background is in engineering/construction/structures. I had some difficulty assembling the first chair because it seemed like some of the holes were not lining up. Also, the stain was coming off on my hands. So I called the owner and explained the situation to him. I talked to Sam who has awesome customer service and listed to my concerns and immediately came up with a solution. We decided to send the 2 chairs back and replace them with 2 more. While I was waiting for the chairs to be picked up, I decided to make the other chair.
The second chair was made with ease. It took me about 20 minutes to put it together. And no black stain came off on my hands. Heres what I realized - when its cold outside, the stain needs time to dry. Let the chairs sit inside for a day or 2 at room temperature so they can dry.
I ended up shipping one chair back and getting a new one in its place. When I received the new chair, I brought it inside and let it dry for a couple of hours (with the heat set at 70 in the house). Again, it took me about 20 minutes to assemble. I let it sit inside the house for a couple days so it could fully dry.
Overall the chairs are amazing. They are really comfortable and have a nice/gentle rocking motion. The slats are spaced close enough to where they dont hurt your back or butt. The edge of the seat is rounded and does not hurt the back of your knee. I definitely recommend getting this chair.
Wonderful Chairs! Very Happy!
