Having looked everywhere for one, that one in the link you showed is the only one I could find. I bought it for 100,000 won, without the footstool. I went to the local furniture shop, looked through their book, and got it. |

My students gave me one years ago, but I don't know where they got it. |

How is it? It looks good quality from the picture. I was thinking I could get some new cushions made up in Dongdaemun if I wanted to de-grannify it a bit.  |

Looks like a good deal to me.
You can certainly re-cushion it... take some fabric and the cushions to a local neighbourhood seamstress and she can whip up new covers in minutes.
Rocking chairs are the best. I had use of one when I visited Canada and it was great getting critter to go to sleep. Just rock, nurse, relax.
We'll totally get one for kid #2. |

It is good and strong. The guys delivered it, and set it up. Ours squeeked a little, but with a little tweaking, it worked out ok. We put a blanket over it to take the granny look away. |
