Contoured Back Slats & Headrest. Extra Thick Posts, Dowels & Runners. Wide Flat Armrest, Contoured Edges. This is the finest, best built weatherproof rocking chair available anywhere in the world, and is the. 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. 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. Accessories: We also sell the Side Table shown in the photo. Weatherproof Wood: Better than Teak for Half the Price. Teak has been the gold standard for outdoor wood furniture for more than a century, but robinia provides equal weather resistance with greater strength and more environmental sustainability. This is chiefly because robinia matures in 30 years, as compared with 60 years for teak. In addition, while teak’s high oil content does not allow it to be painted, robinia is paintable – for that reason, our painted World’s Finest Rockers are also made of weatherproof Robinia. Compare this with almost all other painted “weatherproof” rockers, which are made from non-weatherproof woods that have been painted with “weatherproof paints”. Anyone who has had to repaint a house periodically knows that paints wear off, split, and otherwise allow the underlying wood to rot and break unless they are re-applied. A painted robinia chair remains weatherproof without repainting. And the natural stained robinia stays weatherproof without any care. As noted, the World’s Finest Rocker can be left outdoors for years without special care, but those who wish to keep the chair looking new can do the following: since any chair left outside will fade and discolor in the sun and rain, to minimize those effects, you may keep the chair on a covered porch or bring it inside when not being used for extended periods. The regular application of a wood cleaning product followed by a wood sealing product, can keep the wood color from changing over the years. For best results, this should be done once per year. And of course, wiping the chair with a wet rag with a weak detergent solution can help remove grime and stains. Painted furniture can be repainted with a quality exterior paint like Krylon, but be sure to clean the surface first and fully dry before painting. The durability of this rocker only starts with premium quality weatherproof robinia wood; we also cut our parts generously to provide extra thickness and strength in key stress points like seat slats, arms, and the curved runners. The generous use of such a high quality wood is the main reason the World’s Finest Rocker weighs 37 pounds, compared with 20-25 for ordinary rockers. This is a large, comfortable rocker that has not been shrunk down in size to meet a low price point like most others. The design features of the World’s Finest Rocker are expensive to provide, and are rarely present in other commonly available rockers, but result in the superlative strength and comfort of the chair. Both seat and back slats are fully mortised into the seating brackets to provide extra stability. The seat is especially comfortable, and is double contoured – both front to back and side to side – for comfort. Seat slats are mortised into a curved front rail rather than having the slats exposed to the backs of your legs, as is the case in most rockers. Arms are thick for strength, stability, and feel, and both contoured and chamfered for smoothness. An extra support bracket – made of wood, not cheap hardware – has been added to ensure the strength necessary to provide such a wide arm. Our signature double headrest also provides added strength. Look carefully at the pictures in this listing to appreciate the chair’s quality and design. The World’s Finest Rocker is the top of the line rocking chair which developed through numerous design enhancements following feedback from thousands of customers over a quarter of a century. This chair is the Magnum Opus of rocking chair design, from details like arm shape and thickness, weatherproof materials, to seat and back contour and balance point. Same Rocker Used in 5 Star Hotels and Resorts. Top hotel chains like Hyatt, Hilton, Relais & Chateaux and the Luxury Collection, as well as iconic independent properties including The Greenbrier and Augusta National Golf Club are just a few of the many properties utilizing our rockers. The stability and strength of robinia wood has made these rockers usable in locations as environmentally diverse as Death Valley, Rocky Mountain National Park, Saudi Arabia, Ireland and Japan, among many others.
