The Wooden Rocking Chair

An American Tradition

In the living room, parlor, nursery, or on the porch, a rocker explains itself and is as unremarkable as a refrigerator in a kitchen—unless it is a really good one. This we build—a really good one, a remarkable one. (See remarks.)

For us, wood is a medium as well as a construction material--a medium bringing the life and spirit of its tree into the touch, comfort, and support of our patrons and their heirs. Our wood rocking chairs fully express the possibilities of this material. (See Design and Craftsmanship.)

Just wanted to say the Rocking Chair is fantastic, the joinery and finish is of the highest quality. This was a birthday present for my daughter, and she is over the moon with how comfortable the chair is. The cherry wood is a really nice color and works well with her room.
Many thanks
