Does this chair rock? How about use for extended periods of time?

Rock... well its not a rocking chair. Its built well over all, no backward motion in it if that is the question. As for extended use - I added another seat cushion, though for most that probably wouldn't be necessary. The extra cushion also adds a bit more height to the chair as I like to keep my workstation KB and Mouse platform a bit higher than the work table. Ive sat in it for hours a a time with no adverse issues... as I said in my rating description... love the chair! if you get one that doesn't have the seat back locking problem - I think most anyone would be very pleased ~~

This chair is very, very comfortable, even after a few hours. I will say, if you're not real nimble and have to get up and down a lot, it can be troublesome because you have to almost roll off and the push up from a kneeling position. The chair has held up very well in the year I've owned it. The ratchet positioning still works great and no signs of wearing out. My ONLY complaint is that over time, the cushioning in the area where the seat meets the back (where your butt sits) has compressed, so that now when I sit in it, I can feel a bar under my butt. I now have to us a thin pillow in that area to be more comfortable. If they could improve this one area, (maybe memory foam?) it would be perfect!

The rocking feature is why I purchased this chair. The rocking helps strengthen your core and promotes good posture. I love it.

Very durable in my experience. I use the chair a lot, as in every day for at least a couple hours a day, and no issues at all. And I'm a pretty heavy guy.

Yes. This chair has a rocking motion, not gliding. So it swivels, rocks, and reclines.

I've had this chair for five months and so far have not had a problem. I've been happy with it. I do have a cushion in the seat since I have a back problem and maybe that has helped save on the wear.

I bought it when my son was 14 months old. He is now 20 months and uses it daily still. I actually sit in it as well. It is a great chair.

I kind of doubt it would hold up for long term usage. It's comfortable enough and I use it as a bed for my great grand baby when she visits. It's pretty sturdy but continued use by an adult might be expecting too much.

It definitely rocks when it's partially reclined (foot rest up, back slightly reclined). I've never tried rocking when it's fully reclined. It swivels in every position.

I've had it for close to a year now and it still looks like new, despite me sitting in it cross-legged and such a lot. Good chair imo.

I'm not sure how long I have had it, maybe almost a year but it is still basically a brand new chair. I use it for work daily. I guess if you are asking if it is quality or plastic china junk that falls apart the third time you sit in it, my answer is it is not Junk. If one is doing acrobatics in the chair or weighs a lot, I am not sure if it would hold up the same.

Maria, I use the chair as in occasional chair in my living room. It doesn't have scratches on it but it does not get heavy use either

Yes. My aunt sits in it fine with no problems and that's about her weight. It is a very temporary (on visits) situation, so I am not sure long term. But, there is no issue as far as comfort, and the chairs seem very durable. We have 2 and our kids spin, bounce and lean back as far as the chair will allow. Two years later, they are just as nice as when we purchased them.

The chairs I have are on concrete, so they can rock. I imagine the chair would be fine on rocks, but it may not roll forward as much. If you are agile, this shouldn't be a problem.

You have to push back hard to make it rock. I don't like it to rock anyway because it is not good for my bad back. The chair is very comfortable and has good back support to help your posture.

Absolutely. I ended up using it for less than 2 months and had to sideline it. I do not find the chair comfortable anymore.

Very well. I have had this chair for a couple of years and have no problem with it
