The summer is coming and that means it’s time to get out of the house, enjoy some sun, and spend more time outside. One important thing you need to take care of before you head out is your garden rocking chair. There are a few things we recommend before you start researching rocking chairs:

1. How many people will be using the chair?

Different brands have different intended uses, so when you know how many people will be using the chair you can make sure you get a chair that keeps up with their weight.

2. How often are they going to use it?

Some chairs are meant to be used every day while others can handle daily use but need a little extra TLC to keep them looking great. If your chairs are going to be outside all summer long then we recommend getting ones that are meant for outdoor use. If only using them in the spring, fall, and winter then we suggest looking at lighter duty rockers that can hold up with regular or even heavy use.

3. Purchase used or a higher quality chair?

Many people like to save money by purchasing a chair that is either used or made of lower end materials. While this is nice in the beginning, these chairs usually break down fast and are very uncomfortable. If you are looking for a durable rocking chair then we recommend investing in a more expensive chair.

4. What style of rocker do you want?

There are many different styles of rocking chairs to choose from that fit your needs and tastes. You can find ones with gliders, recliners, and reclining seats, which all have different benefits to suit your needs.

After you have figured out these things, it’s time to start looking at chairs. We have listed several brands below along with the pros and cons of each one.

When you know what you are looking for and where to look, it is easy to find the perfect garden rocking chair. If you need any help or have any questions about choosing a chair, we suggest calling or visiting the store of your favorite brand to get more information.
