Polywood Presidential Outdoor Rocking Chair, Slate Grey

This was my second rocker bc my husband wanted one too. It’s better to assemble with two people unless you’re a really handy person. I had two different people assemble the rockers. The first had no problems. The second one had some difficulty and needed my input.
With that being said, I love these rockers. They’re handsome, very sturdy, well made, and definitely warrants cushions. With the latter added, these rockers are very comfortable. As a side note, they are rather heavy, which could be good or bad, depending on circumstances. I enthusiastically would recommend these rocking chairs.

Good quality and easy to assemble.

Love these rockingchairs. Zero maintenance and a 20 year warranty helped me justify the cost. I paid $180 each for them. In my book that’s a bargain. Well built, comfortable and will outlive me! I’m 6’1″ / 205 lbs and fit in the chairs perfectly. They feel like a normal size/ height to me…they do not feel small as another reviewer noted. Assembly was quick and easy. Took about 30 minutes to unpack and assemble two chairs and a side table. I used an electric impact, which definitely sped things up, but could easily be built with the supplied tool. Tip: don’t worry about hammering together the pieces as others have complained about. I started all the screws first, then tightened them all a little at a time to “suck” the pieces into their slots. …it’ll make sense once you see the pieces. You basically have the two assembled sides and screw on the preassembled seat, the back and the bottom rockers. I think it was about 16 screws per chair into pre drilled holes.

This is an attractive, sturdy rocker. I like that it seems as if it will last a long time and won’t require a lot of upkeep; we liked it enough to order another but not enough for a top rating. Here’s why:

Assembly: It’s not easy to assemble. I’ve put together many do-it-yourself items and for this I had to unscrew a couple of the factory-tightened screws to fit parts properly, as well as use a rubber mallet to assemble the seat in the side frames. The manufacturer DID make a note in step 2 regarding not tightening screws, but be really aware that the WHOLE chair should be assembled with screws before tightening ANY OF THEM. There’s some give in the assembly and with everything loose-ish (along with my trusty mallet) I was able to get all the joints seated. Also take care not to use a power driver if you tend to strip screws out due to over-torquing. A confession: I did not view the assembly video.

Comfort: This chair was also (for either my wife or me) not as comfortable as it could have been. A little larger seat-to-back angle design would be better; the chair makes you sit up straight for sure! We’re going to try getting a pad for the bottom to see if it helps. The rocker bottoms appear smooth enough, but there’s a definite non-smooth feeling when rocking. Hopefully this will wear in over time. The porch surface where this rocker resides is smooth concrete so that’s not the issue.

So- really a mixed-bag review. Compared to similar rockers on Amazon this looked really nice; I wish I could have provided a 5 star recommendation!

Recibimos la silla rápidamente y la calidad es buena. Lamentablemente faltaban piezas. Me comuniqué con la empresa dos veces, pero no obtuve respuesta.

Después de repetidos intentos, no obtengo respuesta de la empresa. Así que desperdicié mi dinero en esta silla.

Perfect for outdoor comfort while watching our dog play

Das Paket kam schnell an, der Stuhl war sehr leicht aufzubauen und er ist schön groß, sehr stabil und super bequem. Auch aus der Nähe sieht es aus wie Echtholz, selbst wenn man darauf klopft, klingt es wie Holz. Bin total begeistert!
