<p>Whether you're enjoying Masterpiece Theatre or the Sesame Street counterpart, Monsterpiece Theater, the <strong>Nursery Works Charcoal Empire Rocker</strong> gives you the best seat in the house to watch. Unlike changing tables, cribs, and most other nursery furniture, the rocker you use to lull babies to sleep can continue on as a functional piece, either in your child's room or elsewhere in the house. Reading a book to your child, watching a show together, or quietly discussing ideas, events, or emotions - rocking with your child offers a wonderful opportunity to transmit the wisdom of ages on to the next generation. However, this comfortable and substantial rocker's worth doesn't end with the nursery; its sophistication bears a handsome aesthetic that bridges the domain of your entire domesticity. The Charcoal-colored upholstery provides an elegant look that fits as nicely in your child's nursery as it does in the rest of your home.</p> <br /> <p>The quality, handcrafted construction of the Empire Rocker by Nursery Works ensures that this chair will last from early parenting through old age, when you'll perhaps have a chance to transmit that generational knowledge again, this time while rocking grandchildren. The polyester (75%), linen (10%), and viscose (15%) blend upholstery creates a soft and durable surface that will stand the test of time. Likewise, the traditional-rocker styled legs are crafted from durable ash hardwood that generates a smooth, stable rocking motion, perfect for reading or relaxing. And the ability to choose a finish for these legs allows you to design a look that is custom tailored to your personal tastes and your child's nursery.</p> <br /> <p><strong>About Nursery Works</strong><br />The mission of Nursery Works is to provide clean, simple, handcrafted contemporary furnishings made with environmentally friendly materials and manufacturing processes.
