Dear Rocking Chair Enthusiast . . .We have a nice collection of furniture related articles here, such as: Mexican pine furniture care and maintenance tips, Teak Garden Furniture, and Choosing Beautiful Furniture for you Home. Following is the full text of one of them . . . we hope you find it informative. Author: Jeff Lakie Buying furniture can be very expensive. After all, next to your house and your car, furniture is one of the priciest things in your home. So any time you can save money, you should! Here are some tips to buying furniture inexpensively. Look in the Yellow Pages for a furniture wholesaler or a liquidation or discount store. Often, their furniture is as good as the kind you will get in a retail outlet, but usually cheaper because of a minor flaw (and usually you won't notice that flaw!). You can also buy from a furniture warehouse where the salespeople are paid by commission. Using a number of purchasing tactics you can often get it at a better deal. For example, if you buy a couch, but would really like to own a couch and a chair, ask if you could get a deal if you buy both. Another good way to save money when you're buying furniture is to go in toward the end of the month. Most retail companies operate on a month by month basis, measuring sales, running promotions, and introducing or winding up furniture lines on a monthly basis.At the end of the month, furniture companies may be closing out a line of furniture they are no longer looking to stock. They may be willing to give you a great deal if it's the last one in the store and they don't want it taking up any more room. As well, since salespeople are often paid by commission or given sales bonuses, at the end of the month they may be looking to put themselves over the top to be eligible for a reward or to make enough money to pay for the mortgage. You can take advantage of this eagerness to make asale by showing that you want to buy, but you need a deal. Many large furniture warehouse companies offer an in-store credit card and will give you a discount if you apply for the card when you purchase their furniture. Use this to your advantage: apply for the card, buy the furniture, get a discount, and pay off the card the next day with the money you're going to spend in your furniture anyway. Another money-saving option is to buy used furniture and get it reupholstered or refinished by a carpenter. Often, the cost ofthe furniture plus the finishing will still be cheaper than buying new furniture, and you may even be happier with the result since you are able to be more specific in the kind of furniture you're looking for.

Rustic High Back Rocking Chair
"It doesn’t get more rustic than this! This Rustic High Back Rocking Chair is constructed by hand from Northern White Cedar. The design uses the logs to create stability and style. The extra wide seat offers plenty of room. The front legs and support posts use rounded logs while the seat and backrest use finished 5/8 inch thick planks. Very few nails are used for connection as most joints are doweled. The natural occurrence of "checking" or slight cracking adds to the character of the chair WITHOUT affecting its structural integrity. Checking only occurs in the top levels of the wood and does not go past the center of the logs. All surfaces are sanded for an incredibly smooth appealing look and feel. While naturally resistant to weathering you can sustain the original color with a clear varnish or color it with the stain of your choice. If left untreated the wood will weather to a silvery gray. This rocking chair will add a touch of country to any outdoor location. This rustic rocking chair is ideal for the front porch or even in front of the fireplace. Made of Northern White Cedar it is very durable. This type of cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insect damage. It is lightweight and does not shrink or warp like many other woods commonly do. You beautiful rocker can be stained or sealed or left untreated will naturally weather to a beautiful gray. Ships partially assembled.
