I bought this as a replacement for an old, leather Ikea Poang chair that was literally on it's last leg(s). This rocker assembled easily, looks good, is stable/sturdy, and seems fairly durable. The angle of the seat back in a standard seating position is just a little bit too reclined for me vs. the Ikea chair. However with the somewhat flat, thin headrest on this, when sitting reclined, with the foot rest up my head is in an ideal resting position - nice for a short nap. For other times, e.g., when reading, I slipped the leather head rest from my Ikea chair on this and have my head in the perfect position. Considering the price the chair is an incredible value.
Very sturdy, reasonably comfortable
