OAK ROCKING CHAIR  

There’s a lot to keep in mind when selecting the perfect wooden rocking chair, such as:  

-Are you going to place your chair indoors or outside? If indoor, oak and light maple are good choices, though most woods can endure outside when properly treated.  

-Where do you require the most comfort when sitting? Does the seat comfort and support? Do you require additional elbow support? Do you feel properly balanced when lying back? Is the chair flexible enough. Does your entire back fit? Is your lower back properly supported? 

-Does the chair rock in a clean, smooth motion? Do you feel as if you are about to fly backwards when leaning all the way back? Do you constantly need to push and adjust the chair, or will it rock with minimal effort? 

-Is the chair constructed to last for years and years of daily use? The strongest rocking chairs are constructed with interlocking joints, and not with glue. Consider rockers made using the Maloof technique, which incorporates laminated strips to strengthen the rocker’s skis. 

-What style of rocking chair do you desire? What style will best fit your home’s décor? Do you want a bare rocker or an upholstered rocker? Natural stained or painted? What type of wood do you desire?  

-How much assembly are you willing to perform? If you feel comfortable assembling a piece, you can certainly save yourself a bit of money. 

-What wood fits your needs to most? 

Oak is a classically attractive wood. The high level of tannins within oak makes it highly resistant to attack from insects and funguses, and the woods’ great strength and hardness simply makes it even more durable. Because of its attractive grain markings, oak has been prized since the Middle Ages for use in prestigious buildings. These days, oak is commonly used for furniture, flooring and timber building frames, in addition to casks for aging liquors. In particular, oak furniture is renowned for its sturdiness and beauty, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor rocking chairs.
