Rocking Chairs

Inspired by the cradle and even the rocking horse, which also pre-dated them, rocking chairs provide a soothing motion by being able to gently rock back and forth. This movement is made possible by curved attachments—usually wooden—to the bottom of the chair called rockers.

Children and pets should be monitored closely around rocking chairs as injury can occur if a tail or a finger or toe is caught under the rockers.
