This is a decent rocking chair and ottoman for the price. Materials and craftsmanship are of solid quality. It’s small but not too small. I’m well over 6 feet and although my head is above the top of the back, that’s to be expected. The padding isn’t super soft but it’s fine. My one complaint is the ottoman is too short. Your legs definitely arrow downwards rather than upwards when using the ottoman. It’s not that comfortable to use because of this. To rock you basically use your legs, not your core, because you have to engage your leg muscles given how short the ottoman is. Kind of defeats the purpose.
Assembly is easy if you follow the instructions and don’t tighten any of the screws anything close to fully until you get them all in. Yes it’ll be hard to line up the holes on the last few if you tighten everything as you move along. Get all the screws in the holes and screwed in a little. You can do the last few by sight or with your finger — gets hard to do if everything is tightened but if there’s slack in the system it’s easy to line even the last few up. Then tighten it all down.
For the price it’s a good chair and ottoman particularly if you don’t want a big footprint. I just wish the ottoman was like 4 inches higher.
Decent for price, ottoman too short
