Ladderback Rockers - Better to See than to Feel

I have to admit, a ladderback rocking chair has a very classic look to it.  They remind me of colonial living and early America.   But they don't sit very well.  Oh, a ladderback might feel good to you.  But if it feels good to you, it probably won't feel good for someone else, because the back slats hit different people at a different spot on their back - and if that spot happens to be just under your sholder blade, it doesn't feel very good.
For the same reason, you can be sitting comfortably in a ladderback rocker, and if you shift a bit in your seat, you can get a sharp pinch as you hit a slat.  Anyway, they're still great to look at, but I woudn't buy one if I were you!

But if you do want a ladderback rocking chair, get it here.  They cost $450 but they are very well made from maple.  They have the traditional on-edge shaker runners, and a canvas tape woven shaker seat.  Also the slats are wide and chamfered so that it doesn't hurt when you move your shoulder blades.
