Stylish, comfortable, affordable rocking chairs are a frequent topic of conversation around these parts and we wanted to throw this option into the ring. It's simple, classic and the nylon webbing is easy to clean. Throw a pillow on it and we think it might be comfortable enough for nursing.
We found it on Target's website in a few colors for $120 or an extra $10 for a high-backed version (we also found the birch/black version for a little less at Overstock). The few customers who have left comments give it mixed reviews. Most find it attractive and well-made (you have to summon your Ikea mojo and assemble it yourself), but a few commented that the front is too high and their feet don't touch the ground.
Do any Ohdeedohians own this and can give us a first-hand review?

I own the white one and I love it! It is very comfortable and rocks smoothly. Love the design and so far it has held up great! Awesome buy for the price.

The seat is a bit high. I'm short and have to rock with my toes and the balls of my feet but my husband has no problem with it. I am still very happy with my purchase though.

I searched high and low for a modern looking rocking chair that didn't cost an arm and a leg. At the time, the black frame wasn't available, so I had to do a bit of a makeover. I have to agree, the front does sit a bit higher than the back, so your calves really get a good workout when you're rocking in it.
