When you search for "rocking chairs", you generally get a load of store listings.   Sometimes that's what folks are looking for, but sometimes I'm just looking for some good advice and info.   I found a great blog about rocking chairs i want to share (besides this one, of course my most favorite!).   It's called The Iconic Rocking Chair and it's on the website for a company that sells restoration products for furniture (Van Dyke's Restorers).   Some interesting stuff on the history of the rocking chair (even answers the titillating question "did Benjamin Franklin invent the rocking chair?"), and brings up the subject of whether rocking is actually good for you from a medical perspective (I once saw a really good article on that so when I find it sometime, I'll post a link to it here). 

Regarding the photo I posted here, which came from the Iconic Rocking Chair website: these are ladderback rocking chairs, which I think are so appealing.   Very few ladderback rockers are made today but back in the late 19th century, they were quite popular.   One reason they are not popular these days is that some people find ladderbacks uncomfortable on their backs.   It depends on the person, but if one of the back slats rests right under your shoulder blades, it can be a bit annoying.   If you ever do find a great ladderback rocking chair that fits you just right, you can probably safely keep it on you porch and not have to worry about too many other people trying to sit in your chair!
