The Hardback Upholstered Rocking Chair

The full measurements, in cm and inches, are on the dimensions photo in the gallery above. Allow space behind the chair for it to rock.

Assembled in 30 minutes.

The instructions come in the box. Unpack it near where the chair will live, and keep the packaging until you're sure you're keeping it.

A rocking chair should look like it belongs

Plenty of modern chairs look clever and feel temporary. You want the opposite: a chair with a proper wooden frame, a back you can lean into and a shape that would look just as right in a cottage as in a city flat. Something that feels made to be sat in, every day, for years.

A classic, made to sit in

This upholstered rocking chair pairs a light natural wood frame and curved wooden rockers with a buttoned grey backrest, a thick seat cushion and a separate lumbar cushion. It's a timeless reading chair for the living room, a calm nursing chair for the nursery, or the chair everyone heads for by the window.

Why it gets chosen

• Real wooden frame: light natural wood forms the curved arms and the rockers, so you see and feel the timber.
• Support where your back needs it: a separate lumbar cushion sits in the small of your back, on a buttoned, padded backrest.
• A seat with room: 60 cm wide and 58 cm deep, with a thick cushion for long reading sessions.
• Arms to rest on: curved wooden armrests give your hands and a mug somewhere natural to go.
• Ships from the UK: sent from a UK warehouse, within our 4–8 working day delivery window.

Who it's for

Made for readers who like a traditional look, parents who want a nursing chair that will move to the living room later, and anyone buying a lasting gift for a parent or grandparent.

Perhaps not for you if you want a very soft, sink-in chair (this one sits more upright) or a footstool (none included).

The measurements that matter

Order with confidence

Free UK delivery in 4–8 working days, with your delivery window shown before you pay. Pay in 4 interest-free instalments with Klarna or PayPal (18+, UK residents, subject to status), or pay in full. Changed your mind? You have 30 days from delivery to send it back; the return cost is yours. As with any UK purchase, your chair must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described (Consumer Rights Act 2015): a fault within 30 days means a refund, and after that repair or replacement.

Comparing with a vintage rocker? You get the wooden frame and the classic shape, with a fresh, padded seat and back. Questions? Email contact@arcandstory.com.

With free delivery in 4–8 working days, it can be in your living room well before the weekend after next. Add it to your basket.

Follow the care label on your chair first. For everyday marks, blot gently with a clean, slightly damp cloth rather than rubbing, and test any cleaner on a hidden spot. Keep the chair out of strong direct sunlight and away from radiators. Not sure? Email us and we'll check for your model.
