Story of the Kennedy Presidential Rocker

The Kennedy Presidential 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 post have their use, as a place to tie a back cushion, if desired.  The secret of this chair's comfort lies in the perfectly planned steam-bent curve of the back post, which sweep in to give firm support to the sitter's back, and yet carry the weight down to the exact point on the rockers where they contact the floor.  The JFK Rocker is set low for comfortable elbow support and has wide armrests for perfect balance.  The seat and back offer firmness and natural spring through the use of tightly woven Malaysian rattan.  President Kennedy's personal physician, Doctor Janet Travell, recognized the healthful influence that rocking chair sitting has, as aid to circulation and reliever of life's daily stress and tensions.  The JFK Presidential Rocker is truly designed for restful and relaxing comfort.  You'll be proud to own this beautiful rocking chair for years to come and pass it from generation to generation.
