Know before you buy
With a seat height of 10 1/2 inches, this rocker is typically best suited for toddlers and young children, generally ranging from ages 2 to 5 depending on the child's height.
Oak is a very dense, heavy wood known for its prominent grain and high resistance to wear, making it excellent for active play areas. Cherry is slightly softer but is prized for its smooth grain and the way it develops a rich, deep patina over time.
Yes, the rocker is finished with a standard varnish that is cured to be durable and safe for household use. The wood is hand-sanded to ensure all surfaces and edges are smooth to the touch.
Yes, this rocker is handcrafted as a solid piece and arrives fully assembled. You can place it directly into your child's room upon delivery.
To maintain the finish, simply wipe the chair down with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes that contain silicone, as these can build up over time and dull the varnish.
