Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product so far!

I am Caleb's wife but I want to write this review myself as I use the seesaw more often than my husband. (Read below for the full review) We bought this seesaw to replace an old family seesaw that has been in our family for 3 generations. We weren't looking for something too expensive or made out of solid wood that would last a lifetime, but something that would allow us to keep the rocker we don't want to lose. In short, we have a two and a half year old child and very soon (I'm 38 weeks pregnant) a baby. My two year old has a hard time falling asleep on his own so one of us usually puts him to bed at night or at bedtime. It's difficult to put him to sleep while he's in an old rocking chair that's falling apart and creaks badly from splitting the wood, and I prefer sliding seesaws because I have relatively short legs that can't always reach the ground when rocking in a traditional rocking chair . I'm 5ft 3in and 170lbs to give you an idea of the weight used in this rocking chair. Received this rocking chair on Tuesday 15th January 2019 (will update review in a month, then a few months after purchase how it holds up) and put it together before my son's first nap. I put my son to bed in less than 5 minutes by rocking slightly in this chair and was amazed that he didn't creak or make any noise. while rocking (or at least not heard from a tired baby). The cushions are comfortable and the material is very soft and durable in my opinion. We have followed other reviews to inspect each piece of wood before assembly (as we do with almost every product we order online) and tested it with different people to check for splits or other broken parts to make sure that it is in good condition. The rat arrived quickly (less than 6 days), came in the color we wanted (white color, dark gray cushions) and every detail was present and not broken in any way. I tested it for a few days to see if the result was the same with my son (every nap and right before bed), I couldn't imagine anything else! Every time my son took a nap and went to bed at night, he fell asleep in less than 15 minutes! It was definitely a miracle for us as it usually takes us 30 minutes to an hour to get him to sleep. one, or find a local store that sells them, but I know for a fact that rocking chairs don't come cheap when made from more durable products. If you're looking for a rocking chair that will last a year or two, this one is perfect for the price. I've been sitting here reading review after review, both good and bad, old and new, about this product and I understand people worry about this, but mistakes can happen, especially with furniture. I don't want to be judgmental, but this rocking chair is definitely not for the heavier person. I would recommend a swivel rocking chair or a traditional solid wood rocking chair for those who do. Don't be fooled by these negative reviews. Hey guys this is a great product for the price and so far no complaints about it, the ottoman or lumbar pillow (both were a huge plus for the price!) I'll be posting another one in about a month to see how is this product holding up and is it still the way I mentioned before. Update after 2 months of use: Even after using this bouncer about 3 times a day with my 2 year old and toddler, the bouncer is of amazing quality. Still rocks as gently as day one, still as comfortable and still as strong. I would still buy this product again! I like it so far!
