Brazilian Cherry Outdoor Rocker

Brazilian Cherry Outdoor Rocker

"This gorgeous heirloom quality Brazilian Cherry Wood Rocker has a generous scoop seat with smooth curved back to make it more comfortable than the traditional outdoor flat back rockers. You'll enjoy sitting in as much as you admire its beauty. It is made in Brazil by artisans well known for quality furniture. Brazilian Cherry wood is very dense and not grainy. It has teak like properties that if left outside in the elements over time it will weather to a brownish grey color. Application of a quality teak or linseed oil will help maintain the rich natural brownish red color of the wood. "

You can stain or paint the chair to your desired color or let it naturally weather to a silvery gray. And you will appreciate the craftsmanship of this chair too.

Ships partially assembled. Approximately 30 minutes assembly time."

  


True Kennedy Rocking Chair

True Kennedy Rocking Chair

"The True Kennedy Rocking Chair is crafted from beautiful oak to make a strong and rugged chair. The thick pieces of oak and dense wood grain enable this rocker to support a great amount of weight comfortably. One element contributing to this rocker's comfort is the steam bent curved backrest that sweeps inward to create a firm back support. The woven seat and backrest made with Malaysian rattan also contributes to the comfort of this rocker as well. The thin incredibly strong rattan stalks are dried cut and tightly woven to create a durable flexibility rocker. Both the comfort and craftsmanship of this rocker will last for generations. The True Kennedy Rocking Chair has a lot of history behind it. John F. Kennedy suffered from lingering back problems from a war injury and to relieve tension from his lower back this rocker was recommended by his doctor. During his presidency President Kennedy had been photographed several times in the Oval Office discussing world affairs while sitting in a rocker that is the model for this one. Now you too can add a piece of history to your home with an exact replica of the True Kennedy Rocking Chair. "
