Impressions of Poang Rocking Chair --LarryRocking chair and matching Ottoman purchased together. rating after 3 months of use.
Chair is well constructed. Sturdy build quality.
Fairly easy to assemble.
Visually, the chair is very nice and stands out in a room.
Used frequently by an elderly relative as a reading and sitting chair.
Roomy fit ( you do not feel constricted between the chair arms)
Very comfortable but for a shorter person an additional throw pillow for lower back support might be needed.
The chairs cushion is comfortable and has not lost any support so far.
This is not a traditional rocking chair.
The movement of the chair is a small range which actually makes it fell more stable.
works well when paired with the matching Ottoman.
Pleased with this purchase.5
Love it!DanielI’ve had the regular version of this chair a few yrs ago. I was in store in Columbus and sat in it and didn’t want to get out of it. Best advice? Get the ottoman to go with it. I’ll prob go w different cushion set, but def loving it!!5
THE MOST COMFORTABLE CHAIRJacquelineThis chair is so incredibly comfortable. It sit in it every morning to read & drink coffee. It hits me just right. When I lean back, it provides just the perfect support for my head & neck. I'm ordering 2 more!5
So comfortableBethThis rocker is just the best. The whole family races to see who can sit on it. Great quality!5
It’s dangerous!DmitriiThe protruding metal at the bottom front is a health hazard. I have repeatedly hurt my ankles (very painful as the metal is heavy) to the point that we had to stop using the chair and put it aside facing the wall.1
Stylish. Doesnt rock well. Mixed comfort. Anonymous reviewerLove the look.
Easy to assemble.
But it doesn’t rock that well. It’s awkward.
Back contour is nice however the head rest part is uncomfortable. Top of my spine hits it and I’m average height. Overall sit leaning too far back too. For the price, not great.
Materials seem nice though the wood is a bit rough. I dont plan on keeping this else I’d probably lightly sand the wood. 2
Wobbly and falling apart after 4 months IrynaDo yourself a favor and buy something else. While we like Ikea furniture and this chair looks cute, the quality of this one is bad. It barely rocks and it became wobbly after 4 months. I wish we could returned it, it was a waste of money. 1
ComfortableRolfQuite comfortable when slightly rocking while watching TV.5
Difficulty in AssemblyAmalinIt has been such a pain to put this chair together. When attempting to put the legs on, the screws are not matching up with the holes on the seat. We got one leg on but cannot get all of the screws to line up on the other leg. Has anyone had this issue?1
Doesn’t rock wellChristineLove the look. Chair is comfortable. But the design does not allow much movement and I did buy to rock a baby. I think I get more movement from my original Poang chair. 2
Defective AmitTwo of the bars that go across the back are missing the silver bits that let you screw the bars to the side supports. No way to screw them together without them. Now I get to repackage the whole thing and drag the whole thing back along with the ottoman and cushions.

Better than StresslessMatthewI bought this to replace my norweigan Stressless chair and it’s beyond better. I don’t care for the normal poang, it’s gonna snap, lol (I know, the robot thing that pushes on it says it won’t). Will be buying a second for home.5
It doesn't rock at allJenniferI was excited and expected a decent rocking chair for the price of over $250. But It BARELY rocks. I'm so sad by this purchase. I feel like SOMETHING has to be wrong or defective with the amount it doesn't move. But no, it's just how it is. If you want a decent rocking chair this is not the one. I just can't describe the disappointment when I sat down 9 months pregnant with the image of rocking my baby and then a borderline painful, jarring rocking experience ensued. Don't buy this. You will be dissatisfied. I am 5'3”1
Gift for MomChristinaShe absolutely loves this chair! As someone who is petite it's hard for to gind comfortable seating where she can actually relax.5
I liked that it wasKwonI liked that it was very comfortable. However, if the seating area were more comfortable, it would feel much more comfortable.5
Comfortable and affordable rocking chairSusanComfortable and affordable rocking chair, the Poang is well designed, looks great in the living room and is reasonably easy to put together.5
The Poang never disappoints!LisaThis is our 3rd and we love them all.5
This is a simple, elegantYianThis is a simple, elegant rocking chair that is fairly comfortable. However, if the top corners of the armrests were a little rounded, it would make the chair more comfortable. Also, the chair is light. On a smooth floor, it tends to slide back a few inches when I sit down, unless I'm consciously gently.4
not rockin' enoughAnonymous reviewerit's fine but it doesn't really rock much at all. I would just go with the regular poang chair and save some money. this is sort of designed to not rock like if you made a car without wheels so you wouldn't get into an accident. otherwise it's fine. I returned it because of this. I fee like the regular POANG chair has almost as much movement as the rocker version. Why pay more? Note: I have carpet. Maybe it's more rockin' on a hard floor. Also if you wear ankle weights or iron boots regularly this might work better for you.3
