I'm not one to write reviews, but I could rave about this product for days. We initially purchased this for my husbands grandmother, who had been living with us temporarily. We own one of those deep couches, which was really uncomfortable for her to sit on. The rocker gave her extra support so her feet could sit properly on the ground, and also allowed her to rock herself while sitting. It also provided her with momentum so we could easily lift her up. We would move it around with her everywhere she went (dinner table, on the couch, at doctor appointments, visiting family). We ended up buying a 2nd one, which now gets used all around the house. I use it in bed at night for reading, my husband uses it to watch tv and my kids will try to steal it any chance they get. The adjustable dial in the back is pretty awesome, so you're not married to 1 specific rocking style. Overall this is just a really great concept that basically anyone can use.
