Made from 100% European Baltic Birch Plywood

The lounge chair,on rockers.
Same low-sitting silhouette as our standard Lounge Chair, built from the same Furniture-grade Imported Plywood — now on two curved rocker rails. A slow, weighted rock built for reading, holding a baby, or sitting still with a coffee. Works equally well in a sitting room, a nursery, a sunroom, or on a covered porch.

Same silhouette, on two curved rails
Same sculptural sled outline, same furniture-grade Baltic birch, same tool-free assembly. The difference is two curved rocker rails replacing the flat base. The lounge angle is preserved, so you sink in the same way; you just rock while you do it. Pair it with the stationary Lounge Chair for a matched set, or sit it next to our Modern Bench in the same Baltic birch.
Real wood, not a wrapped glider
Most rocking chairs in the under-$300 range are painted softwood or MDF wrapped in a wood-look veneer. Solid hardwood rockers solve those problems but start at $800+. Baltic birch plywood splits the difference: real wood layers, dimensionally more stable than solid lumber, and strong enough for the curved rocker rails to hold their shape across years of use. Sized like adult lounge furniture rather than nursery furniture, but at home in either room.
Stain it, paint it, or leave it raw
The rocker arrives smooth-sanded and unfinished — exactly what most DIY-minded buyers want. Apply oil for a richer natural tone, water-based stain for a custom color, latex paint for a hard color, or a clear matte sealer to lock in the natural look. The plywood takes finishes evenly with minimal grain raise.
Crafted in the Pakistan
Each one of our products is designed and manufactured at our Rawalpindi-based studio.
Got questions? We got answers
Where does this work in the house?
Anywhere you'd put a stationary lounge chair — sitting room, reading nook, sunroom, bedroom corner, or covered porch. The low-sitting silhouette and adult-scale proportions mean it doesn't read as a single-purpose piece. It also works as a nursery rocker for parents who want a modern, real-wood alternative to a padded glider — the slow, weighted rock is well-suited to feeding or holding a sleeping baby.
Is it solid wood or plywood?
Plywood — specifically Furniture-grade Imported Plywood , the same furniture-grade material used in high-end built-ins and cabinetry. The chair is solid all the way through (not hollow MDF), but it's engineered from layered birch veneers rather than cut from a single board. The cross-grained construction is more dimensionally stable than solid lumber, which matters for the curved rocker rails holding their shape over time.
How much weight will it hold?
Conservatively, around 250 lbs. The Baltic birch plywood is structurally stronger than solid lumber for this kind of load, and the rocker rails distribute weight evenly across the curve. Sit, lean, and rock without flex.
What if I make a mistake. Can I redo it?
In most cases, yes! You can simply sand and put a new finish on or you can try and paint over.
Will it scratch the floor?
The rocker rails are sanded smooth at the contact points. On hardwood and tile, you may want a small area rug underneath if you rock vigorously, mostly to dampen sound. Carpet handles it without issue.
Can I stain or paint it to match my room?
Yes — that's the intent. The rocker arrives smooth-sanded and ready for finish. Baltic birch takes water-based stain, oil-based stain, paint, and clear sealers cleanly with minimal grain raise. A light scuff with 220-grit between coats is all the prep most finishes need.
