Carolina Cottage Hudson Rocker, White

Read the dimensions carefully. This is the second rocking chair that I have bought. The first one was more comfortable, but its seat was made up of springs, fastened with large staples. They started coming loose during the first two weeks. I'm 5'7 and weigh 170. Yes, I'm overweight. With this chair, I have about 3 1/2" of space left. The length of the seat supports me only about half way up my thighs. The seat cushion I placed on it hangs 2 1/2" inches over the front of the seat. My back is not shaped like the back of the chair, either. So I added a back cushion, which just makes my legs hang over even more. I found out today that unless I exert a lot of effort, the chair won't rock back. (I haven't been home in while.) What I'm saying is that manufacturers are doing a poor job of telling people what sizes their chairs will support. If you have short legs and a butt of no more than 36" and weigh no more than 150, then this might be your chair. It is beautiful, but impractical for most...Read more

The quality of the chair is excellent! It's solid and nicely finished. The assembly was simple and quick. Six screws attach the top to the bottom and thats it! They even include the wrench.

For me this chair is ideal. I'm only 5'4" and have short legs. This chair is fairly low to the ground. The seat is about 15 inches from the floor (I think a standard chair is 18 inches.) My feet touch the ground which I'm very pleased about. The chair seat is wide and roomy and, for me, it reaches to about 3/4 of the length of my thigh...a couple inches above my knee. An extra inch or so on the depth would be good but I'm not unhappy the way it is.

I would highly recommend this chair for shorter people. Those of us vertically challenged love finding chairs that our feet don't dangle from. People with longer legs will probably not be happy with it.

i love this rocking chair ! i'm 5'1 and this fits me. when ever i've used other rocking chairs in the past its been awkward. but the Carolina is perfect if you too are a little shorter than average. the seat is good size too. my son is two years old and likes to be rocked to sleep, this seat in great for that. it has enough room for me to hold him on my lap. this is 'mommys chair' and i love to sit on this chair when chilling out, i prefer it over the couch. i might get a cushion for it later but not in any hurry because its fine as is. the wood seems sturdy enough and the color is the same as the picture. it ships and arrives in a timely fashion and my husband said that it was pretty easy to assemble. i'm really enjoying it and definitely recommend it.
