Christopher Knight Home Brannt Mid-Century Fabric Rocker, Wheat/Light Walnut

Returning.

I’m using this chair in our baby girls nursery and couldn’t be happier!! The chair was really well packaged but it did not come with instructions. The chair was labeled with stickers which helped a lot. It also came with a bag of screws that you had to sort through. My husband put it together without any issues but he’s pretty handy (He also used a Power drill which I recommend). All in all, it’s a beautiful chair! The wheat color is what I would describe as “oatmeal”. Sometimes it leans light gray and at other times it leans more sandy/tan. The wood is very nice and comes in one piece which was great. You only had to install the rockers on the bottom. I sat in it for awhile yesterday and it was very comfy! I’m 5’3” so it is perfect for me. Not sure it would be super comfortable for a bigger/taller person. I love that the arms are padded. I’m going for a vintage/ mid century modern style so it fits perfectly with that!

I never write reviews, but love this chair. We have had it for 3.5 years now and it looks brand new. It’s in my sons nursery and we rock in it for nap and bed. It’s had milk spilled it in, and it wipes perfectly clean. It’s very comfortable, and I would buy it again. I’ve had the big oversized nursery chairs with other kids and this is just as comfy with a smaller footprint. It would be great in a living room as well.

It took two hours to assemble this one rocking chair. I consider myself to be very good at assembling furniture and I have put together a lot of pieces over the years, from simple things like this chair to complex loft beds and wardrobes. This little chair was such a nightmare to put together, I would recommend not even bothering with it - just pick a similar chair. Anything else you pick will be easier to put together than this. Main issue was connecting the seat to the frame - there are four screws to tighten in the bottom and two in the rear. However, none of the holes that the screws are supposed to line up with are visible - they are all hidden under the upholstery. So you have to sort of tighten and pray you are hitting something. I am not certain I landed in any of the pre-drilled holes (if there even really are any) - I think I just screwed directly into wood. And when I set the chair upright, it looked lopsided. Just trust me. Pick a different rocking chair. There are tons of other choices out there and you will save yourself a lot of aggravation.

We recently gave our guest room a makeover so that our out of town children have a nicer room to stay in. With the birth of our first grandchild we decided that we should have a nice, yet reasonably priced rocker in the guest room for purposes of nursing or putting baby to sleep. I was hesitant at first because people claimed this chair was hard to assemble. My husband had it together in no time! He didn’t understand those comments at all. The chair is not only beautiful, it’s very comfy and is a huge hit with my family. If asked whether or not I’d buy it again, the answer is yes. I’d asked if I’d recommend it, the answer is yes.
