Here are a few items to ask yourself when adopting your rocker. I say adopting because chances are, you will be hooked on the appeal of a long-lasting and beautiful solid wood rocker that will be there for you in years to come – like a family member. You will likely pass it on from generation to generation.
Where Is It Going To Be Used – Outdoors, Nursery, Den? Remember that the basic rocker needs extra space when you are rocking back and forth so you need to be sure that it fits in the area where it is to be placed. Even a glider-rocker needs extra space for the gliders.
Does It Fit the Color and Style or Mood of the Space?
Who Is It Going To Be Used For? The rocking chair must meet the needs of the primary individual it is intended for. For example consider if it is for a child, height and sometimes the weight of the person can also be a determining factor in choosing the best rocker. Styles of some adult rocking chairs sit lower to the ground than others.
How Easy Is It Going To Be To Assemble: Unless your rocking chair comes fully assembled, one of the things you need to consider is how easy it is to assemble it once you take it out of the box.
Does It Need To Be Painted And Primed? If so, there are choices of paint colors to be made as well as choosing an indoor or outdoor paint.Do You Need Seat Covers, Pads and Anything Else To Complete the Rocking Chair?
