What is a platform rocker?
1 Answer
A platform rocker is sometimes referred to as a rocking chair with a curved slat affixed to the chairs’ feet so that they could be literally rocked. Rocking chairs are unique in that they don’t just offer a place to rest — they offer an opportunity to reminisce. The presence of one of these classic pieces stirs up our penchant for nostalgia and has the power to transform a space. Shop a range of vintage, new and antique rocking chairs on 1stDibs.
