    Default Update to Upholstered Rockers!!!! Like Posh Tots. Must Read!

    Hi all. I wanted to start a new post so that those of you looking for upholstered rockers would not have to read through the other which has gotten rather lengthy. I will still post a link to it because it does have some great info. It is:
    http://www.windsorpeak.com/dcforum/DCForumID1/804.html
    After much research, I happened to go into a local furniture store to see what they might have to offer. I was pleasently supprised to find 3 reputable furniture makers that make upholstered rockers at what I think are very reasonable prices.
    The lowest price line is Klaussner which is the largest manufacturer of furniture in the US according to my sales person. Their website is:
    http://klaussner.com/index.html. To find a dealer in your area, that web address is: http://klaussner.com/locator/findastore.asp. Unfortunately, they do not have a picture on their site of the rocker, but your local retailer should have one. They start at $335 and go up depending on fabric selection. They have lots of fabric samples. Much more than the next, more expensive line.
    The next line is Pembroke.You can see this rocker at http://www.pembrookchair.com/. Look under club chairs. My retailer had one of these and I loved it!!!! It was very comfy for both me and my husband. I'm 5'5" and my DH is 6'0". I found their fabric samples to be limited, but that may not be the case for any of you. I couldn't find a website for them, but if I do, I will repost. This chair was $400.
    The last line is Rowe Furniture Company. Their website is http://www.rowefurniture.com/default.htm. To locate a dealer click on http://rowe-app.rowefurniture.com/weblocator/. They have a slip covered rocker that is called the Riverside and starts at $625 to $670. To see this chair click here: http://www.rowefurniture.com/collection/chairs/767.HTM. They also have an upholstered swivel rocker that is called Jaqueline. I couldn't find it on their website, but your local retailer should have a picture. It starts at $450 and goes up. Rowe Furniture is supposed to be of top quality. They have a very wide selection of fabric.
    I am waiting to find out if Pembroke has the kind of fabric that I want if not I will go with the Klaussner rocker. The only reason for this is because I could actually sit in it. Please feel free to email me if anyone has any questions.

    In Chicago Roy's sells the Klassner one. I ordered on 3 weeks ago.

    I posted similar information recently with Chicago locations that sell these.

    Hi Jen,
    I ordered my Klaussner yesterday. Did your store have one that you could sit in? Just wondering, because mine did not. The other furniture by Klaussner that they had seemed to be of very good quality. Also, how long did they tell you before you would get it? My store said 6 to 8 weeks. I'm hoping it's on the shorter end on that since I am due in 6 weeks!!!!
    Thanks for the info!

    I did not get to sit in it. I trusted the salesman.

    Another chair and gliding ottoman I highly recommend is by Best Chairs. It is the most comfortable chair I have found as far as back support(I'm 5"1) and the gliding mechanism is much smoother than Little Castle's (the one on Posh Tots).

    You can view it at http://www.bestchairs.com/Public/BES...e?OpenFrameSet

    I think they also make a chair and a half version and its possible to get the skirt tailored rather than ruffled.

    Mine should arrive in just a few weeks. I purchased it through a local store but they are selling it for cheaper at www.cribncarriage.com (about $379 for chair and $179 for ottoman).

    Just to weigh in on the upholstered rocker discussion, I am so happy to see this here, I went today to see if I could find one that was less expensive than the Little Castle ones and the store I bought my crib at carries the Best Chairs Storytime collection.

    A Note on that is that we ordered our bedding from there as well, the Patchkraft Rhyme Time pattern and the Storytime collection from Best Chairs has the EXACT fabric from our bedding.

    It had the nursery rhyme toile fabric and the yellow and ecru checked fabric as well!!

    Best of all, for the glider only chair, it is only $299 and the glide/swivel chair is $349 for both of the fabrics we liked.

    I am going to decide hopefully by tomorrow because they said it will take 5 weeks to deliver and baby is only 4 1/2 weeks away!!

    The store is in NJ, so I don't know if that affects price, but it REALLY pays to comparison shop.

    Default I love it!

    We picked up our chair on Monday (it came in almost 2 weeks ago, but we did not have a spot for it.) I love it! The only thing I wish it had was slip covers for the arms. My Mother is going to sew covers with left over fabric from our bumpers.

    A throw pillow did not come with it, but I did not expect on for the price. Again, Mom will sew something.

    I wish I was at home rocking in it right now.

    Jaime,

    Where in NJ is the store? I'm in NYC. Did they have the Upholstered Glider to try out? For $299 it sounds like a great deal!

    My furniture store called today and said that the chair would be here this week!!!!!! Ironically today is 4 weeks from the day that I ordered it. They said 6 to 8 weeks, but someone else in this dicussion said that freinds had received theirs in just 4 weeks. I am so excited!!!! Will let everyone know how I like it.
