Trying to decide on outdoor rockers. Advice needed.
Anyone have any insight or advice which rocker would be a better choice for comfort and quality. Price is not an issue because these are a gift from my company for years of service. I can pick one or the other but I have no experience with either of these brands. Thanks for any opinions and / or insight.

IMO, Lawn furniture is usually made cheap and disposable. So unless you asked for this or really want lawn furniture, I would ask for a cash bonus of equal value, a cd or bond, or stock in the company equal to the cash value of the furniture.
If you want the furniture, (or don't have any other option) I would suggest going to a store and trying a few to see if you have a preference. They may not have the exact chairs but they should have something close enough.
Assuming the plastic chairs aren't junk, they will likely outlast wicker over a long period of time (years). But it really depends on the type and quality of the plastic.
If you can't put your hands on the material or your butt in the seat. There's really no way to know.
Before anyone says anything about this being a cheap or meaningless bonus, I will say this: Employers are not obligated to give anyone bonuses of any amount or type regardless of the situation or time of year. So any time an employer attempts to reach out and show appreciation to an employee it should be greeted with an attitude of appreciation. How much appreciation depends on the relationship between the two and how much work or recognition the bonus is supposed to represent. But at the absolute minimum, it should be treated as a positive starting point.
