Adjustable Rocker-Upholstered
Common chairmaking wisdom goes something like this: When you increase the number of positions you can get out of a chair, you increase its overall comfort. The goal of comfortable seating is to support the sitter in a balanced or neutral position without curbing her ability to flex, stretch and relax certain muscles. Getting it right produces a chair that people can sit in comfortably for hours. The Adjustable Rocker adds a moveable back angle to its bag of tricks. This does two things. First, it allows the sitter to change positions, increasing comfortable sitting time. (La-Z-Boy™ recliners are famous for this.) Second, the adjustable back actually modifies the size of the chair, making it more versatile. Large people generally find the chair fits well when the back angle is more open, while smaller people seem to prefer the back adjusted to its closed position. The chair’s curved seat nicely tucks the sitter into the back lumbar support. European elm and leather
