This good old-fashioned southern porch rocker has become famously known as the Kennedy Rocker because President Kennedy so loved his rocker and took it with him everywhere. You can read more on the history of this comfortable rocker by clicking here. Lineage to the original is guaranteed with a registered trademark stamped underneath the rocker arm of each chair.

The secret of this chair's comfort lies in the shrewdly planned steam-bent curve of the back post, which sweep in to give firm support to the sitter's back, and yet carry his weight down to the exact point on the rockers where they contact the floor. This makes for perfect, restful balance. Many physicians recognize the healthful influence of rocking chair sitting as an aid to circulation and as a reliever of tension.

The rocker is shaped, steam-bent, and assembled while still green to a tried and true design. There are no unnecessary frills - every part is functional - even the knobs atop the back posts have their use as a place to tie a back cushion. The seat and back offer firmness and natural spring through the use of tightly woven Malaysian rattan. The woven cane seat is replaceable should anything ever happen to damage it.

Now available in three wood stain finishes. Pictured above, the Village Oak on left, and Natural Oak shown on right are for indoor use only. Brand new for 2008 and not yet pictured, the new Dark Harvest Oak stain is a darker finish than the Village Oak to coordinate with more traditional furnishings. The new finish is also recommended only for indoor use because of the cane seat. You can see a finish sample here of the Dark Harvest Oak.

For covered porch use, this rocker is now also available in White and Black painted finish.

Please note: The White and Black Kennedy rockers do not have a woven cane seat and back but instead have a woven cane-look poly resin seat and back for superior durability. The White rocker has a white resin seat and back while the Black rocker has natural color resin seat and back.
