Shine Company Inc. Vermont Rocking Chair, Oak

Very happy with this product. My daughter assembled it in an half in hour to 45 minutes. Which it does state an half an hour. The wood quality is great! Stained well. It recommends you to put a spray a UV protection on it so I did. Very comfortable:)

Chairs (2) arrived on time and in very good condition. They assembled easily and quickly and provide quite comfortable seating on my front porch. My only complaint is with the finish; for chairs designed to be outdoors, they are very poorly finished. It appeared to me that the chairs wouldn't last more than a month or so with the factory finish. I added 2 or 3 spray coats of polyurethane, which should help.

First, as a professional woodworker, I call tell you 100% that these are not hardwood. You can even dig your nail into the wood to prove it. It smells like either pine or cheap cedar. They show a picture of red oak in the ad but that’s what you expect from Chinese companies. They don’t use quality glue on their joints. I had one pop as soon as I sat in it. The design of the chair isn’t reenforced and let’s movement happen no matter how tight you screw it. The screws in the arms are 1.25 long and will not hold. Mine had one that was 1.25 and one that was 1.5. Total lack of QC. The finish is absolute garbage and has imperfections and the color isn’t even in places. Anyone paying more than 60 bucks for these are getting ripped off. These are good for decoration and that’s about it. If you plan on using a rocking chair, spend the 200 dollars and get one from Cracker Barrel. They are the best you can readily get for the price and are made from actual Oak. 1 month update: chair already broke. Arm joints and support joints popped. Arms were held together with a 1.25 drywall screw only. Absolute garbage. Almost put my wife and baby on the floor. Took the chair to my wood shop and re-did all joints with glue and longer wood screws. I cannot stress enough to not purchase these chairs. Anyone with a good review doesn’t actually use these and just have them as decorations on their urban house porches. 2 month update: chair supports completely snapped. Mind you, this is my 150lbs wife rocking our baby on a daily. Normal rocking chair stuff. Hard pass on this rocking chair.

Had a few minor wood discoloration which was to be expected. This crack is unacceptable. The color is great and easy to assemble but now a hazard. Very unfortunate

It looks good. Sturdy and not too hard to put together. I keep it on the porch. I wish it were waterproof and a bit more comfortable. So I just use a pad to sit on and I sprayed it with waterproof spray.
