 The wife is critiqueing it, :-\ She said if your wife is going to be rocking the baby you need wider arm rest. :)

I don't know if this will help or make any difference but my wife is always talking about furniture with high enough arm rests for bottle feeding. Always tells this story about people she baby sat for growing up and a really nice house but had the ugliest old orange couch and she couldn't ever figure out why until she had to bottle feed the babies while watching them. Said the arm rest was the right height to just hold your arm in place and you didn't really have to hold the bottle up yourself. Then as soon as they were all done bottle feeding they got rid of the couch. Just a thought & possible suggestion.

Also, I noticed you said you'll keep that in mind for the next one. If you don't mind or have the time I wouldn't mind seeing a build-a-long for the next one  ;). Always interested in new wood working projects.
