So the chair is beautiful and comfortable as expected, but I found that as an exhausted mother of a newborn, not having a headrest was as frustrating as I had guessed it would be. Based on other reviews of how great it was, even for tall people, I thought it would be ok. And it is OK I suppose, just not perfect. Doing it over, Im not sure if Id buy it again. I still love the aesthetic and its great for rocking baby in the daytime, but for those first few weeks with middle of the night feedings it left me a bit stranded! Im 57 so not that tall, maybe if you were a bit shorter you could more comfortably crank your Neck back and rest head on the top of the chair, but even way slouched down that wasnt comfortable for me.
Overall though, chair came in great condition, no issues with noises or squeaking or unbalanced swivel and weve had it 3 months.
Overall winner, but missing a headrest!
