I purchased this chair because I do sit outside a lot. The chair I was using was causing my hips and back to hurt so I went searching for a good chair that wasn’t a big patio chair I couldn’t move around from place to place. The price was steep but I’m a believer in sometimes needing to cough up money to get a good product! I found this just by googling chairs. I ordered the rocking patio chair. It arrived quickly, in just a few days. However, when I got it out it was the version that did not rock, non negotiable for me because I love to rock. I went ahead and sat in it and WOW. Immediately, yes. My back and body just melted into the chair. The lumbar support is *chefs kiss*! The other huge thing is, it weighs next to nothing but is super sturdy! I can really appreciate the lightweight chair as I do love it and take it many places! Anyway, I emailed the company at noon on a Tuesday. I had a response from them by 4:50 that afternoon telling me a new chair would be at my house the next day with a return shipping label to return the incorrect chair. I absolutely came home Wednesday from work to a new chair sitting on my porch. THATS service! Mistakes happen and we are all human but I appreciate the extra effort to correct it and QUICK action! I’ve also forced many family members to sit in my chair and they all rave about it! 100% recommend! One thing that needed to be addressed is the stops on the rocker aren’t even on the left and right leg. So when you rock forward, it stops on the right leg but the left leg was screwed into the incorrect position. My husband is handy and that’s easily fixed, just an opportunity for improvement! But love the chair and will not deter me from purchasing another in the future!
Very comfortable, feels great on my back, smooth rocker
This is my fourth strong back chair. I highly recommend them especially if you have back pain.
This is my 3rd Strongback chair. First I bought the Guru, then the regular Patio chair, and now the Patio Rocker. All are nice chairs. I was expecting the Patio Rocker to be more "chill" than the regular Patio chair, but it doesn't seem that way to me. When sitting in the Rocker my center of gravity is "forward" rather than "leaned back". Even more forward than the standard Patio chair. I ended up using the Patio Rocker as my "office" chair. Like the Patio chair, I added foam pipe insulation to the arm rests. I hope to cover them with fabric. Perhaps future designs will incorporate padding for the arm rests. I would also suggest a future Rocker to have center of gravity "back" further and stretch out the length of the back to allow someone to rest their head while rocking. Or am I asking for too much? :)
We already has a complement of Strongback chairs. After putting in a new patio I figured that a Strongback rocker would be perfect for lounging around and enjoying the new patio.
The wife was first for the test sit. She is sorter and found the rocker to be to tall forvher and uncomfortable. I was up next.
I like the chair and generally find it comfortable. I'm a taller guy with back problems. The chair would be perfect if the standard geometry was tilted a little further back when the rocking motion was in the neutral position.
That said, it does offer good lumbar support and we're keeping our Strongback Rocker!
