This stylish rocker from Lehmans is a beautiful piece with many design flourishes that add to this handmade chair's beauty.

This chair is made from a combination of select oak and hickory. The bent hickory detailing contrasts beautifully against the oak and adds a touch of attitude that’s somewhat rare for Amish made furniture.

The Pennsylvania Amish Rocker is hand-built by talented artisans and finished in a beautiful walnut with oil-based stain. Many Amish artisans make their pieces to order, but this chair from Lehman’s ships direct from the manufacturer, and they'll deliver it to you within 3-4 weeks, a much quicker lead time than many handmade Amish rockers.

While this chair is best suited for indoor use, it would be equally at home on a covered porch or patio. This rocker is a bit more delicate than many other Amish rockers, so it’s best to store this chair away for the winter if you do keep it outside. That way, you won’t have to worry about temperature, humidity, or the elements affecting your beautiful rocker.

Pros
• Beautiful two-tone finish thanks to its oak and hickory construction
• Ships more quickly than most Amish rockers
• Bowed back adds comfort and beauty
• Arrives almost fully assembled - just attach the rockers

Cons
• 250-pound weight capacity is lower than most Amish rockers
• May require light finish sanding to remove burrs or rough patches in the wood

This beautifully crafted chair from Hershyway’s Casual Series is the perfect rocker for indoor and outdoor applications. This rocker offers a classic design and rock-solid build quality thanks to its pressure-treated pine construction.

The Casual Series rocker offers a generous 32” back height that’s comfortable and perfect for all-day lounging. Since it’s made from pressure-treated pine, the chair is rugged enough to be left outside year-round. It’s equally at home inside the house, as well.

This beautiful chair is also one of the most affordable Amish rockers on the market. To keep the price down, the manufacturer had to get creative in a few areas. This chair arrives unfinished, and while it looks beautiful as a raw wood piece, many customers choose to accentuate the beauty of the wood by staining it. Some assembly is also required.

If you’re happy to stain and assemble the chair on your own, the Casual Series from Hershyway is an ideal way to enjoy Amish craftsmanship in your home, no matter what your budget is.

Pros
• Great price for Amish craftsmanship
• High back and contoured seat for all-day comfort
• Pressure-treated for year-round outdoor use

Cons
• Requires assembly
