What do you get in the box?
The Mainstays Asher Springs rocker will have metal frames that are powder-coated to last for a long time in most outdoor weather conditions. The slat frame for seating and the X-shaped back will have thick cushions to give you comfort for extended seat time.
Each chair will be 27.5 inches wide, 36 inches deep, and 29.4 inches tall. The chair will support up to 250 pounds of weight.
A twin rubber rail is included on the bottom of each rocker to smooth out your chair as it moves. You can use this chair on a surface that is not completely flat, unlike some other rocking chairs. Stops are included on the end of each rocker to prevent the chair from going back too far and tipping over.
Cushions will have an Olefin fabric cover, this is a great material for outdoor furniture. Fabric ties will keep your cushions secure while on your rocker. I would suggest a storage solution for these or any other outdoor cushions to make them last for many seasons.
The simple design of these rocking chairs will get you to use them shortly after opening the box. They should be used on a smooth or flat surface to avoid damage to the rockers.
Assembly and care of your Patio Rocking Chairs
If you have any skills at all, these two chairs should be assembled in less than 1/2 hour. All tools that are required are included in the hardware pack, just an Allen Wrench. Find a surface that you can lay your assembly on, I use the shipping box, while putting these chairs together.
The seat and back are one piece that just requires them to be unfolded. Place an arm on the box and lay the seat, back piece on it, and start the four screws. Leave them a little loose until the other are is on. Put the other arm on the box and install the four screws. Put the chair upon its rocker for the final tightening of the screws for the best results. Add cushions and secure the ties. You are ready for a cool drink and a relaxing time.
The proper care of these chairs will be with mild soap and water for most stains and dirt. Do not use any harsh chemicals as they will damage the powder-coated surface on the frames. If your frame does get a scratch, make sure that you repair it with some touchup paint to keep it from starting to rust.
You should find a storage solution for your cushions when not in use, this will give you a longer-lasting set. For some of my storage solutions for cushions and other outdoor things, follow this link.

My final thoughts on this rocker
The simple design, easy assembly, and additional comfort from the inserts on the bottom of the rockers will give you hours of comfortable sitting from the Mainstays Asher Springs patio rocking chair.
The powder-coated frames will last very well in most outdoor weather conditions. The Olefin fabric does well in outdoor weather conditions also. With the ties to hold them in place, you will not have to worry about them in the wind.
I think adding a side table or firepit would be the greatest way to make this a great place to hang out after work with a cool drink and a friend.

Spilled something . Can I buy replacement cushion?
David,
No information given for replacement cushions. If you do not have the instruction manual, you could measure the cushions and get replacements through my vendor Coversnall or just go to a local fabric store to find someone in your area that makes them.
John
Mine came with out the assembly kit.. no screws, do you have a contact number for the company.
I really do not want to return them.
Thank you
Suzarra,
The number would be on the assembly instruction page. I do not have a copy at this time. Maybe another reader will have one and contact me.
John
What are the dimensions of the cushions?
Tessie,
A very similar chair has a seat cushion of 21.65 inches square and 2.5 inches thick. The back cushion is 21.65 inches wide and 19.68 inches tall with a knife-edge, the thickness will vary. This should be very close to what you need.
John
I bought this set but the holes don’t match up to assemble.
Lee,
This is a common problem when metal patio furniture gets shipped in their boxes. Most can be brought back into shape with a little effort. If they are bent too badly, you may have to replace them with another set.
John
The bolt holes do not match up what do I need to do ?
Shane,
Some minor adjusting is normal. Major problems with alignment will require contacting customer service for replacement parts.
John
Hi I have tried everything possible to put these rockers together. The bolt holes DO NOT line up and I don’t want to try to bend anything because it might make the chair unlevel, and I shouldn’t have to do anything besides bolt the chairs together within a 1/2 hr and you say It should be simple. Please let me know How can we get this right.
Shane,
Some distortion can occur during shipping, major damage cannot be undone. Your item may have to returned or contact customer service for replacement parts.
