This is the finest, best built weather resistant rocking chair available anywhere in the world, and is the same model used in 5 star hotels and resorts worldwide - and we are the manufacturer. Its size, seat and back height, contours and balance point make it the most comfortable rocking chair made, and it will last through many years of use and happy memories. It is a large, comfortable rocker that has not been shrunk down in size to meet a low price point like most others. Premium weatherproof robinia wood has been 100% kiln-dried, all hardware is exterior grade, glue is non-water soluble, slats are cut to shape; not bent, and all construction is mortise and tenon. Each rocker is pre-assembled at the factory to ensure quality control and a perfect fit, then partially disassembled and carefully packaged for safe shipping.
