Kids love having things that belong specifically to them. In most childhood social situations, it’s necessary for kids to share everything from toys to a favorite place to sit, so it can be nice for a child to have something to call his or her own. The Glacier Country Child’s Log Rocking Chair is a piece of log furniture sized especially for young people, giving them the personal space they need from time to time.
Kids like colors and textures, and the Glacier Country chair offers both. Dead-standing lodgepole pine trees are harvested and hand-peeled using draw knifing techniques, which leaves behind a great deal of inner bark membrane. For parents, this makes a lovely addition to rustic décor. For kids, it means a variety of warm brown shades, from a deep mud brown to a light tan. Knots and dimples are also visible in lodgepole pine wood, adding both to the visual beauty and textural interest of the piece. An 8-step spraying process finishes the whole chair off with a “honey pine” colored stain and lacquer to ensure durability.
In terms of usefulness, rocking chairs offer a great deal of comfort. Kids can curl up in their very own personally-sized chair with a blanket, a pillow, and a favorite stuffed animal for quiet time when they’re feeling upset. Or they can just rock for the fun of it, enjoying the rhythm in a way that adults rarely have a chance to. For all these reasons, the Glacier Country chair is a great addition to the living room or a child’s bedroom.

Home is all about dependable comfort, a kind of welcome you don't find anywhere else. If there is one thing you can count on to last, its solid wood furniture. The most comfortable furniture in every room was made to be lived on, rather than looked at. I've found the best investment and timeless charm comes from log furniture. The living on it just adds to its character, and it works in just about every decorating style. For me, rustic decor makes perfect sense and log furniture is part of that look, no matter where you live or play.
