Crap Alert! The Too-Good-To-Be-True $88 Lowe's Rocking Chair

Eek!  Here are some of those horrendous Lowe's made-in-China rocking chairs again!  I once bought one of these and it broke TWICE just while I was assembling it.  They use some mystery wood that's about as strong as balsa, and cover it up with black paint so you don't realize how low quality the wood is.  It's very lightweight and that's a clue - and then so is the cheap design.  Just check out the ramrod-straight backs of these chairs.  Same with the seat - virtually no contouring at all.  These Lowe's Rocking Chairs win the STAY AWAY award!  And if you buy them, please put them somewhere that people don't actually go, because if anyone sits on them, they're going to fall right through them - if not this season, then next.  Check out the reviews of this rocker at Lowe's.com - lots of breakage.

The Cracker Barrel rocker is also made in China even though they come from an American company the Hinkle company who have a "finishing" operation in the US. These rockers too are imported from China and made by workers in semi-slave conditions. Think about that while rocking on your Lowe's or Cracker Barrel rockers.

Lori, you're right about that. I've got nothing against imported products, except when they're so inferior that they end up piling up in our landfills when they collapse into the junk they are. It's like all those cheap toys they sell at the dollar store and end up as party favors at kid birthday parties and break right in the car on the way home. I just don't think it's right. Anyway, you do get what you pay for, and cheap rockers like these WILL break - and then you WILL throw them away, because you can't fix crap.

This is exactly where I got the crappy rockers I was talking about it in my reply to your other post. Lowe’s. Pretty picture on the box and awesome price and then they don’t hold up. Throwing them away now because my two chairs are loose all over and broken in three places. Dangerous, actually.
