This is your great grandfather's rocking chair! Built individually in the tradition of a true craftsman. The near perfection of the carving and embossing of the leather is a testament to the artisan's skill and loving attention to detail. This item is supremely well packaged for shipment. At 64 years, I was able to assemble (and I enjoyed this project) it in less than 90 minutes. I used some wood glue and a rubber mallet to join the 8 pieces. The ooh's and aah's I have been getting tickles me (Everybody thinks it was delivered as a completed chair)! I love this solid Peruvian rocker for the unexpected 'museum quality' elegance it adds to my living room. Nobody has been able to escape this chair's powerful magnetic attraction. Everyone who has seen it had to sit on it and rock… Beautiful!

I've ordered many Novica items and I've been happy with all of them, with the exception of this rocking chair. It's pretty but it has a very strong chemical odor. The chair has been "airing out" in my entry way for other three months and I don't think the odor has dissipated at all. It smells a lot like insecticide or moth balls. I contacted Novica to inquire about the padding in the seat and verify that it does not contain moth balls, insecticides or other toxic chemicals, but I did not receive a response. I regret purchasing this item as the chemical odor makes it unusable and possibly dangerous.

The chair arrived very quickly to my front door (maybe two weeks). It took my husband less than hour to put together, very easy to do. It looks great!

A friend helped to assemble using glue for wood. I am delighted. The crafmandhip and beautiful carvings makes it a conversation piece.

we absolutely love the chair. my husband put it together with wood glue and he said it wasn't that difficult, as long as your'e handy. the chair did have some minor dings in the varnish job and it took a really long time to get here, but so well worth the wait. its not as large as i thought it would be, but the detail and the craftmanship is beautiful.

It?s very nice and huge! It doesn?t fit in place where i was planning to put, but I am working on, I want to keep this peace of art. Little bit stains orange-red when you wipe with something wet. We hope it temporary.

I agree with all of the comments below. This is the most beautiful rocker I have seen. I am very happy with the final outcome and the price. It is not only a showpiece, it is very sturdy. That said, the last couple of steps in the assembly are a pain. Getting everything lined up takes some strength and more than one person, and if you use wood glue, get ready for a mess because the holes aren't all in one direction so you can't orient the chair preferentially ... so maybe the liquid nails is a good alternative. I used wood glue because the lower viscosity probably gets into the wood cells better for a superior bond. Either might work fine though. Also, be prepared for 10 business days before they even ship it (I think they don't get them from Peru until after you place the order.) Very much worth the wait to me. But once you get it togehter he final product is AWESOME!! Can't beat it!!

It's a gorgeous chair BUT my husband told me it was very hard to put together. Be sure to have wood glue and a mallet on hand. I gave it 4 starts because once it is put together it's stunning. We will see how long it lasts!

The Rocking Chair from Peru is just great....it is very attractive, very sturdy, and very, very comfortable...I am very much enjoying it....thank you.

This is undoubtedly the most beautiful rocking chair I have ever seen. Assembly was not a problem, and yes, you must use a good wood glue to ensure tight and long lasting component fits. The chair is sturdy and comfortable, but my only concern is the finish and some basic construction improvements that could enable the new look to last. The rocker arm rests could be rounded to minimize dents on the edges and although a great looking finish, time will tell how it will withstand. I do not think reparing the finish with a furniture rub on will do any good.

If you are looking for a rocking chair that is a ittle different you will like this one. I really didn't think it was that hard to put together. We did use liquid nails to make it sturdier. My husband does not think it is that comfortable but I do. It is little larger then I thought it would be but I do like it.

The chair looks great, but it was a PAIN to put together. We needed wood glue, a rubber mallet, and my husband's brute force to get everything lined up and put together. And it still isn't quite right, there is a slight gap at the bottom of the back piece on one side where things didn't line up no matter how hard we tried. But the finished product looks just like the picture and is really nice.
