Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First off, I am very skeptical of ordering a chair off the internet that I have never sat in. After two months of trying to find one of these chairs to sit in before buying it, I finally caved in and ordered one. I am very glad that I did. I will try and break down this review into its pieces now. Assembly: I read many reviews stating that assembly was hard with this chair. It took me all of five minutes, and that was with reading the directions twice. A little WD-40 on the dovetail, and let gravity do the rest (letting the chair drop from about 10 inches off the ground onto the ground in the upright position a couple of times per side). Construction: While I just got this last weekend, it looks and feels like heavy plastic construction that should last for years. I have had my share of plastic chairs that bend/break over the years, and I do not see that happening with this chair. Comfort: First off, it is a hard plastic chair, so expecting it to be soft and plush is ridiculous. That being said, I am a long-legged 6'-2" 270 lbs. and have a Pillsbury dough-boy physique, and this chair is an incredibly comfortable rocker for me. The only slight modification I would make is to lengthen the seat bottom, but that is due to my extra long legs and I should add that it isn't uncomfortable. The back is high enough that I can lean my head back and rest it on the chair while rocking. It is even wide enough that I can sit my wide bottom on the seat while wearing my holster, and nothing rubs! Conclusion: If you are wondering about whether this chair is nice, well it definitely is. I am a natural born skeptic of everything, but I give this chair a 5 star rating for what it was designed for. A solidly built, all weather, comfortable rocking chair that larger people can comfortably fit in.
