Plush Children's Rocking Tiger

I expected more for the money I paid. Its not very sturdy and it was a chore to put together. The screws didn't fit right in the hole provided...we had to have 2 people hold it into place while another screwed it in. My mom bought a nicer rocking horse for less than what I paid...and the assembly was easier. But it was a Tiger and we are huge LSU fans, so it did its purpose.

Difficult to put legs on, but we managed. It turned out cute. We added a Detroit Tiger's bandana, nice touch. I think it was a little too pricy.

You will need patience and perserverence to put this together. It is difficult to line up the screws on the legs with the holes in the rockers. I actually had to bend the legs which are pretty strong and put the screws in each hole simultaneously a little at a time. If you put one screw in all the way then try to do the others it will not work.That said, it is really cute once you get it together. I'm not sure how it will wear since I am saving it for Christmas and it hasn't been used yet. The size is about right for a two year old or a small three year old.I have seen other stuffed rockers for less, but they aren't as cute or don't look to be as well built.I would give this 4 stars for cuteness and originality, but although this has very few parts and appears to be simple to assemble, it is tricky. I also think it is priced a little high for Overstock.

It takes a bit of effort to get the screws on the tiger feet to align with the holes in the rocking base...don't be afraid to use a little force. The whiskers were also very curled, and I used the edge of a pair of scissors on the back side of the curl to straighten them and make them look nice. Then I sawed off the tips of the rockers because I wanted more rocking motion than the existing shape allowed. In the end it made an awesome gift. My daughters love it.
