Rated 2 out of 5 by ActiveLady60 they should be better
I was so happy to receive my two rockers that I started to assemble them immediately upon delivery. It took nearly 4 hours, a ratchet wrench, a file, a large rubber mallet, and some language that my friends don't know I know. The pieces didn't want to fit together, a little warped. Now that the chairs are together they seem sturdy. However, there are little gaps where tenons go into mortises, if that's the terminology, that don't look good and never will. This chair isn't the level of quality that I expect from years of buying from LL Bean.
They aren't too comfortable, either; the seat is so high in front that everyone complains about feeling "folded" and pushed forward. I bought the recommended cushions which at 3" thick are too thick, but I'm hoping to salvage some comfort by taking the cushions apart and reworking them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by washgrover We have had this rocker for many years!
I believe we bought this rocker when LLBean first made these items out of this material. I doubted it would last. Not only has it lasted beautifully, but it is sitting on a front porch with lots of sun -- the color has remained deep and true despite that! Worth every penny and I wish I could buy more of these pieces!

Rated 5 out of 5 by frontporchsitter Love this Rocker
I bought our first rocker and seat pillow more than 7 years ago and have enjoyed it through every Canadian season. We are now going to purchase a second one.
These rockers will be around 2 or more generations from now.

Rated 1 out of 5 by LLDuckShopper Very Disappointing
I sent the all-weather porch rocker and cushion to my mom for Mothers Day. I went to visit her a couple of weeks ago and was very disappointed to learn that the chair was terribly uncomfortable. It may be that it was defective, but when I sat in it, I felt like I was being pushed forward. There was no rocking back at all. I'm very glad that I went out there because Mom did not want to tell me that she didn't like the chair. I sent it back and am going to try the all-weather Adirondack chair instead. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we have better luck with this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyInMooresville All Weather Rocker really rocks!!!
We have received the Rocker and assembled it in less than 15 minutes. Everything fit together well and sure seems to be constructed properly. The instructions are easy to follow and the bolts and drilled holes lined up easily and went together nicely. We look forward to many years of use. We are happy!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by FrankMV Nightmare to assemble! Poor hardware...
The screws that came with the chair were painted over, making it very difficult to use the supplied wrench. Two screws became stripped and I had to use a vise-grip to rotate them on the outside edges--in the process, I scratched up the chair leg. Several holes did not properly match either; i had to use a drill to make new ones. Overall, it took 2 of us more than an hour to assemble. Shocking low quality....

Rated 1 out of 5 by oxfordnc not the same as last years!
I bought 2 of these rockers in 2010 and liked them so much that I bought 2 more this summer. Put one together and realized that it was a VERY different rocker-- most uncomfortable. Doesn't rock well and sits straight up. Returned the unassembled one.
Please, bring back last years comfortable rocker!

I thought a long time about purchasing these rockers because of the price, but I finally went for it and figured it would be a great investment since LL Bean products are so durable. They are comfortable, super easy to clean and heavy enough to not blow away on our stormy days. All in all, the perfect rocker!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Yelmshopper greatest rocking chair
Love the rocker and especially like being able to leave it on the porch in the Pacific North west. Not too hard to assemble. The back is a little straight. Makes you sit up straight but good for you. If I needed two I'd buy another one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by darhpr All weather rocker, table & cushions
We are so excited to have these new rockers that require zero maintenance !! All pieces including the table are so sturdy and always look clean and neat. Our cushions add color to our patio and the overall look is just great.
