A true Papa Bear's chair...a large and soothing rocker

Large wooden rocking chair, a true "Papa Bear Chair", this one has a great rock to it.

  . 

  . 



We've found that rocking chairs each have their own feel; you need to find a good match for you, so come try this for a test rock and see if it's "just right" for you! If you can bring a little one to hold, so much the better :^)


This one has a few scratches, but it's in good shape and has great style! I love the gold banding, the Old World stenciling, and the little spheres set in the back and as the finials.

Action Industries is a funny name for a rocker recliner...

...because once you sit down...

...pull the hand-lever to put your feet up...

...and then push back to fully recline...

...the only action is the closing of your eyelids and your peaceful breathing.

These chairs have supported many happy dreams, and are looking for a new home in which to serve.

Plush, teal upholstery is in great condition. (Photo flash in last picture created highlights that are not areas of wear.)

Action Industries is the manufacturer of this pair of rocker/recliners. Gently used, $75 each or $125 for the pair.
