Have had this chair for a little over 2 years. Used it for night time feedings and rocking baby 1 to sleep, then again for nursing and rocking baby 2. We now use it for reading together, and the toddler loves having a chair of their own. It didnt fit together right when it arrived (some of the holes didnt line up to attach the arm to the base and back of the chair), but the company replaced the parts quickly after I sent some photos and provided proof of purchase and the customer service people were friendly and helpful. Its not super comfortable to sit on; I put a feather pillow down if Im going to sit in it for a long time (for feedings or late night rocking babies back to sleep), but its fine for reading books and cuddling for a bit and perfect for the kids on their own. Im not a tall person and the back of the chair doesnt come up high enough to support the back of my head, the plus side I guess of keeping me from falling asleep while holding the babies for the longer stretches. That being said, I still give it 5 stars. It may not be the most comfortable chair, but the rocking mechanism is quiet and smooth, and the chair and ottoman are still holding strong after over 2 years of almost daily use. Sometimes one of the adults will sit on the ottoman, its pretty sturdy on its own. When I purchased the white/gray chevron version in 2019 the chair was ~140 and has been well worth the price.
2 years and still going strong
