In 20 years of buying from these are the shoddiest product I have ever received. I still cant believe they are Choice. I ended up keeping them as I was having a Memorial Day party and needed them and there was no time to buy others.
On the plus side once they were assembled (not an easy task),they do look nice it and seems as if they will serve their primary purpose which are as porch decorations.
Upon opening the box the first thing I saw (both rockers) was that multiple seat slats were loose. These are stapled. Some were able to be just hammered back in. Others had never been attached as the prongs were bent over. I was able to straighten them. The next thing I saw that on one there was a large chunk of wood broken out of the support. This had happened after it had been painted and was not in the box. One rocker was able to be assembled with little problem. Predrilled holes are at an angle but they work. On the other on one of the preassemled sides, the braces between the uprights were not in fully. This meant the uprights were too far apart to fit into the holes in the rocker. After a lot of pushing and pulling by two strong people they finally slipped in.
I guess I probably got what I paid for, but I expected better for an Choice.
Really shoddy.
