elfho writes: I built one of these rockers. Following the plans exactly and after it was completed it is as StepTayl mentions. To say the action is short is giving it credit. You have to use your legs to try to push the chair back. It will not rock at all, instead it leans so far forward it is uncomfortable to sit in. I finally had to take blocks and attach them to the front of the rockers so you could sit in the chair. A complete waste of time and money to build.

StepTayl writes: I also built this rocker, thought it looked great and wanted to try bending the rockers. But I've noticed the "action" in the rocking is short, doesn't go back very far.. Also the seat seems kind of far forward which puts you very far infront of the rock. Any similar experience.
