- Is this chair real wood?
- No. It is molded plastic made to look like painted wood in an antique mahogany grain. The grain is part of the finish, not a wood surface.
- Will it hold up outdoors in rain and sun?
- Yes. Poly plastic does not rot, splinter or need repainting, which is its main advantage over a wooden rocker. It can still fade slightly over many years of direct sun.
- How comfortable is it for long sitting?
- The seat is wide and the back is tall, but the plastic is firm. Most owners add a seat cushion for longer sessions.
- Does it come assembled?
- It ships unassembled. Expect to spend time with basic tools putting the frame and rockers together.
- How does it compare with a wooden rocking chair?
- It costs less upkeep and never needs sealing or painting, but it is heavier and has a molded rather than carved look. A wooden rocker feels warmer to sit on but needs regular care.
- Can one person move it?
- It weighs 48 lbs and is bulky, so moving it is easier with two people. It is best left in place on a porch.
