This Lehman’s child-size rocking chair is the Amish-craftsmanship answer to the cheap molded-plastic children’s furniture that fills toy stores. Just like Dad’s big rocker, but scaled to a child’s body — the kind of heirloom-grade piece that grandchildren will eventually sit in too. Steam-bent hickory wood forms the rocker’s distinctive contoured frame, the back, seat, and runners are made from gleaming oak with a glossy lacquered finish.
Amish craftsmen steam hickory wood until flexible, then bend it to form the rocker’s frame — the same traditional bent-wood technique that has defined American rocking chair construction for over 150 years. No nails, no glue-and-staple corners, no flat-pack assembly. The chair arrives assembled and ready for immediate use.
Dimensions: 15-1/2 inches wide by 26 inches high by 22 inches long — sized for children roughly age 3-8 depending on the child’s size. The gorgeous glossy finish gives the rocker the heirloom-furniture look that makes it appropriate as a child’s gift for special occasions (birthdays, baby showers, holidays). Lehman’s catalog selection for serious Amish-furniture purchases.
