This is an example of the kind of wicker rocker not to buy unless it is intended for decoration only. The only thing it has going for it is a very low price. It barely rocks (the runners are practically flat). It will fall apart, probably within months. If you are shopping for a wicker rocker watch out for low-end ones like this. The high-end ones can be wonderful but the prices are really up there. We will continue to search for quality wicker at reasonable prices but it is not easy to find.
